Personal profile
Research Focus
My main research interest is Heart Failure (HF), in particular patients with advanced HF symptoms and those with an implanted device (i.e. ICD). Currently I lead on two European projects, the project named PASSION-HF aims to develop an e-health device to support patients self-manage medications and lifestyle choices. I also contribute expertise in two regionally funded projects. I have published in high impact journals and lead author of the recently published position statement by the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology on ‘integrating a palliative approach into HF management’.
Teaching
My teaching experience spans both undergraduate and postgraduate modules. I have been tutorial lead for a number of years for year 3 students, most recently the Evidence Based Nursing module in December 2020. In the forthcoming year ( 2021-2022) I will be module coordinator for the Applied Pharmacology for Nursing Practice.
Over the past year I had the opportunity to coordinate and teach the Applied Research & Statistics in Healthcare module of the new Masters in Nursing programme at MBRU. Due to the pandemic innovative 'blended' teaching methods were required, which were positively reviewed by the students. I have also contributed clinical heart failure knowledge and expertise to the Specialist and shost courses in Cardiology within SONM.
In October 2020, I was appointed as Programme coordinator for the Nurse & Midwifery Prescribing programme & Module coordinator for Prescribing in Practice (2020-2021). With a revised NMC curriculum and standards, this intensive course provides nurses the knowledge and skills to make a significant impact on patient care.
Finally I am an External Examiner for 'Specialist Nursing' Trinity College, Dublin (2020)
