Julie is an experienced, innovative, creative, nationally-acclaimed nurse academic. In August 2024, Julie was appointed Head of School for the School of Health Sciences, Bangor University.  

Julie qualified as a Registered General Nurse in 1990, following completion of a first degree in education. On qualifying, Julie worked within busy Critical Care and High Dependency Units for several years. In 1995, Julie was selected as a direct entrant for District Nurse training alongside completion of a BSc (Hons) in Community Health (District Nursing). Once qualified, Julie led a caseload in a deprived, urban area of Stoke-on-Trent. The opportunity to support and care for people in their own home was an absolute privilege and being a District Nurse is something Julie is immensely proud of; indeed, the highlight of her career.

A successful clinical career culminated in a move to academia in 2003, initially to lead clinical skills delivery at Keele University. Over the ensuing years, Julie achieved excellence in learning and teaching and the leadership of students and colleagues. As a Clinical Skills Lecturer, Julie was instrumental in developing a comprehensive programme of skills teaching. Julie then moved to the role of Adult Field Lecturer, leading popular, positively evaluated modules. Julie designed and led the specialist practice post-registration programme for District Nurse education; a programme recognised regionally and nationally as being innovative and inspirational.

Throughout her time at Keele University, Julie’s role developed to include a range of key programme, school, and faculty senior roles. Julie developed personally and professionally, culminating with appointment as Dean of Education (0.5WTE) for the faculty, alongside a leadership role within the School of Nursing and Midwifery. Julie’s role as Dean developed, supported and led pedagogic innovation and programme development across the full provision of the faculty.

Julie was awarded her personal Chair and became the first Professor of District Nursing in the United Kingdom in January 2020. Julie’s promotion was awarded in recognition of her academic and professional achievements in the discipline of nursing, her national work aligned to NHS and Health Education England, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI), specifically around District Nursing, and University-wide leadership.  

In April 2021, Julie was appointed to the role of Head of the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Keele University. Here, Julie led a dynamic team and facilitated the return of the school to near ‘normal’ educational delivery following the pandemic. Julie increased school income, broadened the programme offer, including apprenticeship provision, enhanced metrics and developed a ‘can do’ attitude across the team. School internationalisation grew, with partnerships, collaborative agreements and growth in both student and staff mobility. Research developed exponentially and a programme of simulation, with approval from the NMC.

Alongside her academic career, Julie has had 20 plus years involvement with the RCN and QNI. Julie is honoured to be a Fellow of both organisations and is committed to contributing to a range of workstreams. A member of the RCN for almost 35 years, Julie was elected as Chair of the RCN District and Community Nursing Forum in January 2017 and held this position until April 2022. Until January 2021, Julie was one of 12 elected members of the RCN Professional Nursing Committee (PNC), representing the West Midlands. In March 2023, Julie was elected to RCN Council, as the West Midlands representative, and was active in strategic and operational RCN activity and representation along with her regional and country counterparts. Julie’s term of office ended in August 2024, when she relocated to North Wales.

Julie has been elected to sit on the RCN Wales Board and will take up this role on 1^st January 2025. Julie has been appointed as the Consultant Editor for the British Journal of Community Nursing.
