Biography
Prior to joining the Apprentice team at the University of Cumbria in January 2023, I was a Clinical Educator in a specialised Neurological Care Centre. I was responsible for planning and delivering the training and development for all staff in the centre. I was also responsible for supporting Apprentices through their apprenticeship, including those on the assistant practitioner programme.
Prior to this role, I qualified as an Assistant Practitioner in 2018 where I delivered complex healthcare to adults with a range of complex health needs and Neurological Conditions.
