Biography
I have taught and been involved in nurse education, teaching and assessment from undergraduate to post graduate level for several years. This includes programme development, curriculum development and review and dissertation supervision. Prior to this, as a registered general nurse, I nursed and cared for people in clinical practice.

My current research areas of interest include Intergenerational Cafés (to increase intergenerational learning between student nurses and older people), Delirium learning resource development project between UL & QUB, residential care, and supporting student learning through the use art based projects.
