Teaching

My teaching spans undergraduate adult nursing, nursing associate education and postgraduate professional development. During the 2026–27 academic year, I contribute to modules NIP2802, NIP2805, NIP3802, NIP3805 and NIP2901.

I deliver clinical skills teaching and simulation-based learning for first- and second-year BSc nursing students, supporting the application of scientific knowledge, clinical reasoning and critical thinking to practice. I also contribute to student support and practice learning at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.

My postgraduate work includes MSc student supervision and teaching on the ethical and responsible use of generative artificial intelligence in academic and professional contexts.

I contribute to perioperative continuing professional development and am the module leader for Principles of Perioperative Practice, offered at Level 6 (NSA3555) and Level 7 (NSA4510). My wider academic responsibilities include accreditation activities.
