Biography

I've worked for the ambulance service over 25 years, having worked in London as a Team Leader, then in Dorset and Hampshire. I qualified initially via the vocational route but have since developed this, having recently completed the Advanced Clinical Practice Postgraduate Diploma course at University of Southampton.

I joined SWAST's Learning and Development team in 2016 and was fortunate enough to complete my PGCE while working there. I did in another life gain a law degree, but healthcare is a much more rewarding career.

I have a broad range of clinical interest. I really like the wide remit of primary and emergency care, from acute mental health crisis to trauma care. Having said that, my passion remains the education and development of others, and I'm delighted to work in this field.
