    Personal profile

    Overview

    I am an Associate Professor in Paediatric Prescribing and Endocrinology. I am the Course Director for the Non Medical Prescribing programme. 
    I have been a children's nurse since 1994, working in general paediatrics, paediatric ICU and neuroscience before specialising in paediatric endocrinology in 2000. I have focused on advancing my education by studying for a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an MSc in Occupational Psychology and an MSc in Professional Healthcare Research.
    I am known internationally within paediatric endocrinology, having presented and published widely.

    Research Interests

    I have been actively involved in clinical endocrine research throughout my senior nursing career, focusing on genetics in short stature, clinical trials, and differences in sex development. I have also studied whistleblowing amongst nurses for my MSc in Occupational Psychology, and advanced nursing practice amongst clinical nurse specialists and advanced nurse practitioners for the MSc in Professional Healthcare Research. I was awarded the Paediatric Endocrine Nurse Award in 2014 from the British Society of Paediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes, for my research looking at endocrine nurses, research and social media, and again in 2023 for my proposed PhD research. This PhD in Nursing research is exploring monitoring and adherence in young people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, working closely with University College London Hospitals NHS Trust, and Barts Health NHS Trust.
