I have worked full time as a Teaching Fellow at the University of Surrey since August 2012. I have a background in adult nursing and midwifery, qualifying as a Health Visitor in 1998. My health visiting experience has included working as a health visitor (GP attached and corporate team), a liaison health visitor for a Walk-in Centre and a practice development health visitor. 

As a Practice Development Facilitator, I have worked both at a local and strategic level to develop practice for health visiting and school nursing services. My role included the setting up training programmes, the development of guidelines, service audit and service innovation. This work gave me a wide breadth of experience in developing evidence based practice to support service provision for identified local health needs.
