Personal profile
Research Focus
I am a Research Fellow in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. I am currently working on a study with Dr Gary Mitchell to co-design and field-test a digital intervention to optimise diabetes care in nursing home settings.
Research Interests
The common thread of my research is around supporting healthcare professionals to optimise their nursing practice through digital activities and supporting people living with dementia. My PhD focuses on
Exploring the experiences of people living with dementia in Dementia Friendly Communities in Northern Ireland: A Realist Evaluation.
Teaching
I am a Year One Teaching Assistant for the undergraduate Professional Nursing (BSc) course at the School of Nursing and Midwifery. At postgraduate level, I teach on the Pathway Lead for the Specialist Practice in Older People's Nursing Programme and the PG Cert in Nursing Care of the Older Person in Care Home Settings.
I am on the School's postgraduate research/ taught SWAN Committee. I am also actively involved in the supervision of postgraduate masters students.
I'm interested in the co-development and assessment of educational podcasts, gamification, and other asynchronous learning methods as it relates to the scholarship of teaching and learning.
