I was appointed as a lecturer with the Physiotherapy academic team at York St John University in January 2018. I graduated from Leeds University with a BHSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy in 1997. Following graduation, I worked for 20 years within the NHS.
After completing two years of general rotations I spent 18 years specialising in respiratory care. In particular my areas of interest are Critical Care, Cardiothoracic, tracheostomy management and early rehabilitation in critical care. I maintain my clinical skills by working weekend shifts within my clinical areas of expertise.
I currently teach across a wide range of areas on the undergraduate programme and am due to teach on the Post graduate MSc programme. I am module lead for Cardio-vascular respiratory and Employability.
Since starting at York St John University I have commenced on the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PCAP) which I aim to complete this year.
