Projects
In May 2011 I conducted a study entitled ‘Fasting periods for Day Surgery patients: an audit into adherence to fasting guidance’. I presented this study nationally (Royal College of Surgeons, London) and internationally (International Conference for PeriAnaesthesia Nurses, Toronto) and my findings were published in 2013 (Journal of Periopertive Practice). I recently completed a piece of research into the effectiveness of RLOs (Reusable Learning Objects) with student nurses, I intend to publish this work in the near future and have already been accepted to present my findings in Chicago in November 2014.

Postgraduate teaching
As the Programme Lead for the MSc Adult Nursing I have oversight of the programme delivery and assessments, also leading on some of the MSc units.
