About Me

I am passionate about maintaining compliance of Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK) accredited adult and child education programs, focusing on quality improvement and further development of patient safety initiatives across organisations. I run a nurse-led team that is well established in education, current standards of practice and evidenced based care that provides a career development pathway.

I aim to support organisations uphold standards set out by NICE and CQC and other accredited professional organisations. I am an experienced RCUK trainer who has significant education and understanding of the management of physical health and the deteriorating patients including mental health challenges and the management requirements of secure environments. I have excellent current knowledge of health practices and the required dynamic leadership skills needed to manage the requirements of large service providers.

My team have supported across Kent and Medway to develop across all areas practice. Not only am I competent in my own clinical practice, I ensure others perform at their scope of practice that ensures patients receive high-quality, safe care. I offer structured guidance to patient safety teams and governance leads. I can offer practical management plans by way of developing relevant policies and standard operating procedures, teaching staff to act as role models for best practice. I am focused on the delivery of teaching that provides skills that demonstrate leadership capabilities while supporting and managing teams within their resources

Education has helped form my core key principles to facilitating the development of others. This contributes to the development of the KRT workforce and informs best practice within the team. Additionally, I can support research to inform and improve practice. I can support organisations with audits their service, and complete reports of all medical emergencies and cardiac arrests across the organisations to evaluate health care challenges and to contribute to the evidence base to enhance patient care and outcomes.

There is a wide variety of clinical specialities across KRT scope of teaching delivery, with extensive opportunity to integrate and develop services. As a senior nurse practitioner, I have extensive experience with community and inpatient teams as well as those requiring bespoke training elements for sedation.

I work closely with our academic partners and am a clinical academic lecturer at Universities. In addition, I have post-graduation certification in simulated education in health-care and are currently completing a post-graduate certificate in academic practice, which is a master-level program, accredited by Advance HE. I nurse clinically maintain all critical care competencies by working as a bank nurse at local hospitals, this includes catherisation, cannulation, IV medication administration and interpretation of physical health and mental health needs for adults and children. This I find is an instrumental contribution to the team, strengthening understanding and supporting clinical academia.

Main duties of my role as a senior nurse specialist I am firmly embedded working with the Trust quality and safety team, working alongside the Q&S leads to ensure ‘work as done’ is reflected in the planning and delivery of safety initiatives. I am developing paediatric PILS courses that have a specific scenario’s for the needs of the service such as medical emergencies in eating disorders.

My experience and credentials afford KRT to offer NHS trusts and organisational assurances of meeting the needs of their services.
