I am a Registered Nurse with nearly a decade of experience working in a variety of settings and feel passionate about providing good quality nursing care across the Health and Social Care sector.

I work with the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to ensure registered healthcare practitioners are competent in their Practice Supervisor/Assessor role by providing ongoing support within their placement settings and support Trainee Nursing Associates throughout their studies. Part of my role is to work with managers, supervisors and assessors to help them to develop their infrastructure to guide the Nursing Associate role into Adult Social Care. My role is also to guide social care providers as to how the role can fit within their organisations and monitor and increase access to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for Registered Nurses and Nursing Associates.
