������

I am an experienced nursing leader with focus on quality and clinical standards and bringing evidence into practice. I am passionate about person-centred practice using emancipatory practice ������ment techniques to enable practitioners and teams to ������ knowledge and skills to change the culture and context of care in all healthcare environments. 

My PhD focused on facilitation of person centred leadership in nursing. I ������ed a new framework for work-place facilitation. My thesis entitled “Using two models of work-place facilitation to create the conditions for ������ment of a person-centred culture: A PAR Study” and associated models are currently being used in healthcare settings both nationally and internationally.  

I am a strong and strategic nursing leader with extensive experience in healthcare and hospital leadership, practice ������ment and research. I have a wide range of clinical experience over a 37-year career. I am passionate about driving care standards and facilitating person centred cultures in healthcare.
