I trained as a registered general nurse at Hammersmith Hospital, London. Following registration I worked in the speciality of caring for the older person, in acute, rehabilitation and continuing care. I then commenced training as a district nurse and worked in the West London area, specialising in leg ulcer and continence management. I then moved into the education sector at the University of Nottingham, focusing on older person studies, leg ulcer management and tissue viability. Finally, taking a position here at the University of Huddersfield, initially as route leader for the District Nursing course, now course leader for the MSc Community Nursing Practice (District Nursing) course.
