My clinical background is in nursing and midwifery. I trained as a general nurse in Middlesbrough and worked in orthopaedics and intensive care. I then moved to York to complete my midwifery training, and from there I moved to Liverpool and returned to intensive care nursing.
About Dr Emma Nelson
In 2011, I completed a PhD in anthropology, before moving back into health studies, teaching student doctors and foundation year students.
My research interests are very broad, from human health and social behaviour to primate behaviour, Palaeolithic art, cuckoos, and salamanders.
I am a Fellow of The Higher Education Academy and find teaching hugely rewarding. Like my colleagues, I firmly believe in creating a stimulating and supportive learning environment for all students entering university.
