Teaching and supervision

I am programme leader for the Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeships.

The course uses integrated and interprofessional learning with all fields of nursing and allied healthcare professionals. All fields being taught and supported as a cohort, embrace the new 2018 NMC standards to use an holistic approach in developing skills and knowledge, further recognising the focus of holistic patient-centred care. 

I also supervise undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations.
