Biography

I first joined the University of Sheffield in 1999 and, apart from a brief period as a development worker with the Alzheimer´s Society, I have been employed as a researcher and, for the past 4 years, as a lecturer in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. I am also Disability Liaison Officer for the School.

Research Interests

I am interested in dementia care practice research and the development of dementia care education. I am also involved in adult safeguarding research and have a commitment to viewing patients as experts in their health care conditions.

Teaching Interests

I am responsible for the Foundations in Relationship-Centred Dementia Care course and for bespoke Dementia Awareness education in partnership with a number of NHS Trusts in south Yorkshire. I also co-lead the Long-Term Conditions unit on our Post-Graduate Diploma in Nursing Studies and lead units on the School´s B.Med.Sci in Health and Human Sciences, including, User Expectations of Health and Social Care, Communication Skills and Ageing, Health and Wellbeing.
