Biography
I have extensive experience as a registered nurse, starting at the Christie Hospital in Manchester. Afterwards, I moved into the healthcare industry sector, specialising in wound care as a senior territory manager and then as a product manager in diabetes. I returned to nursing full-time and spent a decade working in the Channel Islands. I gained valuable experience living and working in a very remote location delivering trauma care, minor injuries, outpatient clinics, community nursing, long-term care, acute care, palliative care, and medical evacuations by air for service users for the whole population.
Dementia became my focus as an adult nurse; I wanted to understand individual experiences to provide safe, kind, and effective care to support my patients and families. I commenced degree studies in 2015 and achieved a prestigious new award in Guernsey, which led to a further award from the Royal College of Nursing Foundation to begin postgraduate study in Dementia.
I am a peer reviewer for Sage Publishing, Bloomsbury Publishing, and the Nursing Standard Journal. I specialise in reflection, Dementia, lived experience, ethics and professionalism, well-being, and change management.
