Biography
I have been a registered nurse since 1986, initially qualifying and practicing as a registered general nurse specialising in orthopaedic and trauma nursing. I changed direction in 1996 when through reorganisation of the unit I moved initially to the Neonatal unit and then to the children’s surgical unit, undertaking a conversion course in 1999 to become a registered sick children’s nurse.I became involved in teaching primarily in the clinical setting as a practice and professional development Sister before taking a temporary post at the University of Bradford 11 years ago.I have developed my role at the University teaching not only children’s nurses but across the pre and post registration programme for all fields. I have recently taken the role of joint programme leader for the development of the 2017 programme.
