Queens Nurse
I have always lived in Cornwall and trained as a Registered General Nurse at the Royal Cornwall School of Nursing (Truro). I went on to obtain my BSc (Hons) in Health Studies and MSc in Advanced Professional Practice with the Â鶹´«Ã½.
My clinical practice has primarily been within the community, general practice and strategic nursing. I have experience as a Community nurse, a General practice nurse (GPN), a Non-medical prescribing minor illness nurse and an Urgent care matron. Alongside my University post, I also work as a Strategic Lead Nurse for general practice nursing for Cornwall & IoS Integrated Care board. This allows me to have first-hand experience and knowledge to apply in my teaching, ensuring information is current and relevant to student learning and academia.
