A long NHS career clinically focused on adult critical care, with senior education and service lead posts held.  Visiting lecturer and simulation faculty member at Brighton & Sussex Medical School.

Collaborating with colleagues and stakeholders across the Region to shape our Advancing Practice Faculty to best meet the needs of our people and multi-professional workforce.  Working in partnership increasing awareness and understanding of this level of practice, the support, governance, and education preparation required.  Through curious conversations helping stakeholders identify where advancing practice roles are best placed within services and across systems to have maximum impact for our local populations.

I am delighted to be the Regional Advancing Practice Supervision and Assessment Lead. I qualified as an ACP in 2017. My clinical background is a mix of urgent care, Emergency medicine and acute medicine in both ECP and ACP roles. I have also spent a lot of time working within education across all healthcare professions and in a Lead post for ACP education in an acute trust. I remain passionate about education and developing opportunities for this, in particular with a focus on simulation and multi professional/interprofessional learning.

If I am not at work then I would like to be either dog walking or running somewhere across muddy fields or just spending time with my family (maybe I should have put them first!)

I’m the regional Project Managers for Advancing Practice, I work with the rest of the Advancing Practice Faculty team to support the development of Advanced Clinical Practice across the South East.

I’m a nurse by background, with 20 years experience in critical care as both a nurse and a Practice Educator, with a specialist interest in central nervous system injuries and trauma. I have also been a visiting lecturer at the University of Brighton across several level 7 programmes. I’m passionate about learning and supporting learners to develop themselves to fullest of their potential.
