Biography

• Lord Dearing Award winner in both 2006, 2011 and 2017.

• National Teaching Fellowship awarded by Higher Education Academy 2013.

• Substantial undergraduate and post-graduate teaching experience including large lecture and small group teaching, the use of seminar, tutorials, problem-based learning and laboratory practicals, and significant PhD/DPhil supervision experience (Oxford University, Imperial College London & ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´).

• Excellence in teaching quality as evidenced by consistent positive student feedback.

• Strong experience of leadership in teaching and curriculum development (Imperial College London & ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´).

• Significant experience of the development, introduction and evaluation of novel, innovative and interactive teaching methodologies (Imperial College London & ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´).

• Considerable experience of championing the use of evidence-based learning technologies (e.g. podcasting, individual Keepads) both within and outside the School of Nursing at the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´, through staff training workshops, peer-reviewed publication and conference presentations.

• Effective strategic leadership skills have been developed through influencing and effecting changes in staff and student development, while working in collaboration with senior staff in my roles as Deputy Director of Research and Deputy Director of the PhD programme (School of Nursing, Midwifery & Physiotherapy, ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´).

• Experience of setting up and participating in a staff mentoring scheme.

• Experience of coaching and performance review.

• Evidence of successful grant income generation and high-quality research outputs in education, social science and lab-based science.

Expertise Summary

Non-medical prescribing education and impact on professional boundaries and patient safety.

Novel innovative teaching technologies to encourage deeper learning by means of responsive and innovative strategies. (Reusable learning objects, podcasts, audience response units, buddy/peer support systems)

Mixed methods studies involving the design and use of questionnaires supplemented by focus groups or interviews.

Laboratory based expertise is based around the cell biology and function of smooth muscle cells (vascular and uterine) and includes cell culture, chemotaxis, proliferation, enzyme assays, immunoprecipitation, western blotting etc. Particular interests are the relevance of smooth muscle function phenotypic status to cardiovascular disease and pre-term labour.
