Personal profile
Summary of Research Interests
Academic Biography and summary of research interests.
A very self-motivated Senior Lecturer in adult nursing at Teesside University. I left practice in December 2021 as I have always had an interest in teaching and felt it was the right time to pursue it. I enjoy a challenge and I enjoy learning. In July 2023 is passed PgCLTHE level 7 in higher education. I have completed Teesside University marking and assessment workshops and other mandatory training. I am module leader for level 6 and level 7 principles of integrated cancer care and other long-term conditions, Enhancing the care of the chemotherapy patient level 6. I have recently been appointed course leader for the ECP Pgcert and apprenticeship course. I also support the course leader for the ACP course which is level 7. In September 2023 I enrolled on the Doctorate for Professional Practice and have successfully passed the first module.
I am currently undertaking my research project which is titled;
Experiences of supportive care needs by recipients of systemic anti-cancer treatment (SACT) in an ambulatory setting. A phenomenological study.
As I am from an oncology chemotherapy background I have an interest in improving the experiences of cancer patients during and after treatment.
