In 2002 I was appointed as Director of Practice for the School of Healthcare, University of Leeds and in 2006 I moved to my current post at the University of Huddersfield where I am Associate Dean (Learning and Teaching) for the School of Human and Health Sciences. I teach across all academic levels and have a leadership role for learning and teaching. I am particularly interested in the practice focus in professional education. I have recently been selected and trained by the Nursing and Midwifery Council to be become a panel member and Chair for their Fitness to Practise process. My doctoral study explored the relationship between nursing education and practice, focusing on adult general nursing between 1945-1955. in addition to nursing history my research interests are in education, including disability, the use of creativity, reflective practice and ethics. I am director of studies for one doctoral student and co–director for a further five.
