Qualifications

I grew up in Cornwall and trained as a learning disabilities nurse in Surrey and a mental health nurse in London. I have practiced in the UK, Australia and Canada as a clinical nurse educator, clinical nurse specialist, health services manager, nursing regulator and university lecturer. My clinical practice has primarily been in rural and remote community health services. I joined the University of Plymouth in 2019.

My interests include:

  • Parity of esteem for mental and physical health
  • Health promotion and health inequalities related to people with learning disabilities and/or mental health
  • Clinical governance, including risk management, patient safety, and quality improvement
  • Policy development to support nursing education

I completed a BSc in Nursing from the University of Saskatchewan, an MSc in Health Improvement and Health Promotion from Robert Gordon University, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Healthcare Law and Ethics from the University of Dundee. I am registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

In 2018, I was the recipient of the Excellence in Nursing Leadership Award, Canada.
