I  have been a registered nurse with the NMC for over 21 years and hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Education, Senior Fellowship HEA and a Registered Nurse Tutor annotation with the Nursing and Midwifery Council since 2001. In order to deliver a high quality learning experience for nursing students I foster and maintain excellent working relationship with the Local Health Boards, Commissioners, Council of Deans, Chief Nursing Officer of Wales and the NMC. I work closely with 5 Health Boards across mid and west Wales in developing clinical placement opportunities in partnership with HEIW/ LHBs and the private sector.  I believe teaching is an integral part of an academic career and I have a keen interest in teaching a wide range of graduate and under graduate courses. My main areas of teaching include clinical skills, Burns and Non-Medical Prescribing. This is my second year judging the SNTA awards and I’m look forward to reading your entries, good luck everyone !
