I am proud to be a children's nurse and passionate about improving nursing care for children and families which led me to my career in higher education.
I began teaching at Oxford Brookes University in September 2007 as part of the Children’s nursing team but I continued to work in practice as an advanced nurse practitioner in Children's rheumatology and as a research nurse for children's rheumatology until 2013 when I left to become a full time member of the teaching team. I aim to inspire future children's nurses to also become dedicated to improving nursing care for children and families. I continue to have strong links with practice through link lecturing and professional relationships and professional group membership.
