I am an experienced acute care nurse and educator having qualified in September 1980. I became interested in teaching during my 20 years in practice and qualified as a teacher with and MA in Health Professional Education whilst working full time as a Night Sister in 1998. I entered higher education as a Tutor in 1997 at the University of Surrey where I became a Deputy Director of Studies for the Nursing programmes. I moved to work in Cyprus in 2009 and, as an Associate Lecturer at the University of Nicosia, I developed and set up the first Simulation Centre in Cyprus. I came to the University of Bedfordshire as Senior Lecturer in 2011. I am particularly interested in developing and improving inter-professional practice through the use of simulation.
