Miss Tamzin Dawson

I joined LSBU as a Senior Lecturer in Children's Nursing in 2012, having previously worked at the University of West London as Senior Lecturer in Children's Nursing. I am Head of Division for Children's and Community Nursing and Mental Health and Learning Disability Nursing within the School of Nursing and Midwifery at LSBU. I qualified from St Bartholomew's School of Nursing and Midwifery in 1993 as a Registered General Nurse and in 1996 as a Children's Nurse. I have a MA in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education from the University of West London and aquired my Doctorate of Education from the University of Exeter. I teach acute and complex care of children and research methods and lead the advance practice course for children's nursing. I am a member of the University's ethics committees in the school. My clinical expertise is within the filed of Paediatric Intensive Care nursing and education. 

 

My research interests are in nurse education both within the university and clinical settings. My doctoral research was in "The perceptions and experiences of pre-registration nursing students with dyslexia of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination". Recently I worked on a joint research project with a partner Trust looking at alternative placement learning for student nurses.
I continue to work within clinical practice and hold an honorary position on PICU at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust where I support and develop clinical practice through teaching and learning in practice.
