I am a Professor of Nursing and Critical Care Practice, with a background in acute and critical care, advanced practice, and healthcare education. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Intensive Care Nursing, an MSc in Advanced Practice, and a PhD. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), a Registered Nurse (Adult), an Independent and Supplementary Prescriber (V300), and a Registered Teacher with the NMC. With over 25 years of experience, I have held senior roles in clinical, academic, and consultancy settings, including Head of School, Director of Employability, and a professorial designation. I have led curriculum development, academic innovation, and external engagement in critical care and advanced practice education. I have managed multi-campus academic operations, chaired assessment boards, supported programme validation and fitness-to-practice panels, and led initiatives to enhance the student experience and staff development. My work includes designing internal and pre-master’s internships, as well as 100-hour paid placements. I have co-developed programmes with NHS trusts, private and voluntary sector partners, and independent providers. I have managed budgets exceeding £12 million, delivered surpluses over £6 million, and secured more than £4 million in research, CPD, and consultancy income. Internationally, I am recognised through my consultancy work and published outputs. I have worked with the Government of Gibraltar and the Gibraltar Health Authority to deliver postgraduate education and COVID-19 training. Several of my books have been translated into other languages and are used globally in advanced practice education. I actively contribute to academic citizenship. I am a Consultant Editor for the International Journal for Advancing Practice, Clinical Editor for the British Journal of Nursing, a member of the Council of Deans of Health, and contribute to NHS England South East working groups. I also sit on several editorial boards, act as a peer reviewer for international journals, and hold external examiner roles for universities in the UK. With over 100 peer-reviewed articles, 70 book chapters, and 9 authored books, including a widely adopted series for advanced practitioners, I remain committed to impactful, inclusive, and internationally relevant leadership in nursing education.
