Governance Chair
Lecturer, University of Wolverhampton
I am currently a Lecturer in Adult Nursing at the University of Wolverhampton in the Institute for Health. I teach across the pre-registration nursing programme with a special interest in the management of long-term conditions, methodology (particularly classic grounded theory) tissue viability and research.
Upon qualification as a registered nurse (adult), I worked within the cardiology setting, rotating between the coronary care unit, angiography and the general medical ward. I loved this role but I could not resist my passion for district nursing, so I spent the rest of my clinical work as a community nurse. I was fortunate to secure a secondment in the tissue viability service which enabled me to disseminate best practice in the district nursing service.
I completed a PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University in 2019 and contributed to teaching on the undergraduate nursing programme. I have published within peer-reviewed journals within the fields of education, methodology and tissue viability. I am an editorial board member for the British Journal of Nursing (Community Wound Care) and the Royal College of Nursing's Primary Health Care journal.
