I qualified as a Registered Adult Nurse in 2009. The main part of my nursing career has been in the Prison Service where I completed my Non-Medical Prescribing and MSc Clinical Practice. I joined the University of Bolton in 2018 teaching on the Trainee Nursing Associate (Higher Apprenticeship Route) Programme, completing my Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and Professional Practice whilst in this role. I currently work as the Apprenticeship Manager for the School of Nursing and Midwifery and I am studying for my Professional Doctorate in Health and Social Care.
