I am passionate about engagement, utilisation and dissemination of learning, scholarship and research to support evidence-based, safe and effective care delivery for the communities we serve.
My aim is to work with and inspire my peers, colleagues and students to embrace a culture where learning, scholarship and research supports their everyday practice and enables them to be outstanding practitioners.
My research interests focus upon pedagogical research with students and colleagues as partners in practice learning and research, and the development of professional identity including simulation-based education and inter-professional learning.

My primary research interests centre around simulation-based education (SBE) and understanding how SBE within health and care education impacts upon safe and effective care delivery. I am interested in pedagogical approaches to research and in particular the experiences of learning and working for health and social care undergraduate and postgraduate students including work-integrated learning. I use and teach a variety of research approaches which informs my postgraduate research supervision and examination.
