Amy Richardson

I'm a Senior Lecturer on the MSc Advanced Clinical Practitioner apprenticeship.

My background is in biomedical science, graduating with a BSc (Hons) from Durham University and going on to complete my MSc Advanced Clinical Practice at Teesside University. I was a registered biomedical scientist with the HCPC before joining the University and worked for 11 years in the microbiology department of a busy NHS laboratory. During this time, I progressed from Medical Laboratory Assistant to Senior Biomedical Scientist, and following completion of my MSc, took on additional clinically led responsibilities, alongside maintaining a high level of technical responsibility within the laboratory.

My passions are training, advancing practice, and microbiology, and I'm keen to pass on this passion for learning and improving to students.
