My name is Emma, and I joined the School of Nursing and Midwifery in 2016 as a Senior Lecturer. I work across the MSc & Apprenticeship in Advanced Clinical Practice, leading the Dissertation and Multi-Professional Framework modules in addition to serving as Course Lead for Independent and Supplementary Prescribing. I am passionate about developing research skills in others, and I am also the deputy module lead for the BSc Nursing dissertation. I am particularly interested in qualitative research and the application of evidence-based practice across the curriculum.
Before my move into Higher Education, I had extensive senior nursing experience, specialising in diabetes management across healthcare settings. I have experience in implementing inpatient diabetes service improvements across the local, regional, and national healthcare economy. In addition to developing advanced nursing practice across Diabetes and Cardiology specialist nursing teams. Previously, I have worked for both the West Midlands Strategic Health Authority as a Research Fellow, supporting the Implementation of Think Glucose across West Midlands Acute Trusts, and nationally for the NHS Institute of Innovation and Improvement as a facilitator for Think Glucose implementation.
