I am registered adult nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and hold a Master of Science and a PhD in Health Economics from Queen’s University Belfast along with a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and Senior Fellow HEA. I am a senior Lecturer in the School of Health Sciences/Centre for Health Economics and Medicines Evaluation (CHEME) in Bangor University.

In my academic roles, I teach on undergraduate and postgraduate courses and engage in programme and curriculum design and review. I developed the strategy for integration of health economics in to the undergraduate and post graduate health professional curriculum within the school. I am actively involved in the development and revalidation of the BN in nursing and post graduate diploma in adult nursing curriculum in line with the NMC new educational strategy. In my role I provide pastoral support to personal and research students and undertake the additional roles of deputy programme manager for PGDip in Adult nursing as well as the professional lead for Fitness To Practice (FTP) and Professional Lead for Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
