Profile

I have over 23 years of clinical experience, mainly within the cardiorespiratory field and in particular within critical care.
I began my career as a lecturer here at the University of Leicester in 2006 where I took on a variety of teaching responsibilities within the BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy course. Over my academic career I have completed my PGCAPP, gained FHEA status and been awarded a Master of Education with distinction.  I have taught and led on many different modules within the Physiotherapy BSc (Hons) Undergraduate degree programme.

All of this experience has lead me to become the Head of the Physiotherapy degree course and the FY physiotherapy course.

My interests lie within the following fields:

  • Pedagogical based research including simulation and student experience
  • Clinical based research within critical care and respiratory care
