Clinical experience

I have been a nurse for nearly 30 years, starting in 1990. I started in Primary Care in 1996 and currently work in Lewisham, South East London. I work clinically one day a week, mainly supporting clinicians to manage patients with multiple morbidities. I specialise in Long Term Conditions and teaching and supporting junior nurses. I am a Queen's Nurse and CNO Silver Award holder. I also teach staff how to manage these conditions: smears, childhood immunisations, travel vaccines and treatment room duties.

Education experience

I work 4 days a week as Director of Primary Care Learning at South East London Workforce Development Hub which involves commissioning and delivering training to all clinicians across South East London. I have a PG Cert In education. I have been teaching for the past 4 years.

Why do I teach?

I have developed a passion for teaching as it enables me to work with clinician to upskill, motivate and inspire them to deliver high quality care. I get so much satisfaction giving people the tools to make their consultations flow and be of high quality and value to the patient so making their job more satisfying.
