About

Biography

I completed hospital based nurse education programme at an Australian regional hospital in 1987. I came to the UK in 1989, concentrating on a career in cancer care with an interest in chemotherapy. I completed a BSc(Hons) Cancer Care (Manchester/Royal Marsden), an MSc in eLearning (Edinburgh) and a Post Grad Certificate in Teaching & Learning (Surrey).

My clinical roles included senior staff nurse and ward manager of a 16 bedded ward in a specialist cancer centre. Prior to joining the University of Surrey I was involved in developing eLearning modules in cancer care, providing online technical and course development and tutoring for a post registration specialist cancer school.

I joined the School of Health Sciences in 2010.
