I am a Registered Nurse (Adult) and qualified from Stirling University in 1999. I am on secondment into this lecturing post 3 days a week.  I have a wealth of teaching and educational project management experience across a variety of settings such as theatres, intensive care, clinical audit, clinical skills, undergraduate nurse education and practice education. I am enthusiastic towards all aspects of teaching and learning and I believe that I can transfer my enthusiasm into my role and to those being taught which will facilitate and promote sound evidence-based clinical practice, which I truly believe will ultimately benefit patient care. I also currently work part time for NHS Education for Scotland as a Nursing and Midwifery Practice Educator and for the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) as a Lay chair of their Fitness to Practise Committees.
