I qualified in Adult and Children’s nursing in Sheffield during the early nineties and went on to specialise in Palliative Care, working in clinical services for may years, before moving into education and leading on End of Life Care within the North Lancs area.
Subsequently I moved on to develop my career within clinical governance and management of community services. I joined the University of Cumbria in 2020, and am based at Lancaster Campus. In addition to my lecturing work I also practice as a Person Centred Counsellor and Supervisor.
