Biography

I started my nursing career in 1985, training in Glasgow and then working in Aberdeen, West Lothian and Edinburgh. My last clinical role was as an outreach nurse in the Scottish Brain Injury Rehabilitation Service.  This involved me travelling across the country working with people and their families in their own homes and communities.  I have worked at QMU since 2007 teaching mainly on the BSc Hons Nursing.  I have been a member of two SIGN Guidelines Development Groups – one as a chairperson – SIGN 130 – Brain Injury Rehabilitation in Adults.
