I have been at Lecturer in Practice Learning (LPL) at University of Chester since April 2020. I qualified as a therapeutic radiographer in 1996 and worked for five years in London before returning to the North West. I continued to work as therapeutic radiographer at a large oncology centre for fifteen years, my last clinical role was education radiographer. I then moved to Higher Education and was a lecturer on a Radiotherapy programme. The LPL role allows me to combine working with clinical partners and nursing students to improve the practice placement experience.

NU4004 – Practice learning 1 (level 4)

My area for research is student support in placement. My research dissertation is to consider support strategies for widening participation students in practice placement.
