Senior Lecturer in CPD

I am a Registered Adult Nurse with a background of working within orthopaedic trauma operating theatres and high-risk elective procedures. During this time, I was involved in service improvement projects to reduce waste and improve flow within the perioperative environment. Alongside this, I was responsible for facilitating effective surgical patient warming to reduce the impacts of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia.

Aside from my interest in perioperative environments, my primary interests are equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), interprofessional learning (IPL) and international student nurse exchange.

Teaching and supervision

I am the module leader for Equality, Diversity, Ethics and the Law in the Healthcare module on BSc (Hons) Nursing (Top-Up) for which I am also Deputy Programme Leader.

Research interests for potential research students

I am interested in several areas of future research including international student nurse exchange programmes, cost and efficiency improvements in healthcare, psychological factors leading to and resulting from orthopaedic trauma, EDI within healthcare and IPL within healthcare programmes.

Research

My research while in practice focused on service improvement specifically cost efficiency improvement projects with operating theatres. Though in the future I plan to progress my interests in both EDI and IPL and look to conduct sole and collaborative research to assess specific issues relating to both higher education institutions and the National Health Service (NHS). I am also interested in conducting international relatable research, particularly in areas such as EDI.
