Introduction

I am currently working as a Tissue Viability Nurse Lead - Senior Infection Prevention and Control Nurse.   I have been working in a senior role for a number of years, with a wide range of experience in Tissue Viability covering primary and secondary care, including residential care homes.  

Since qualifying as a registered nurse in 2005 at the University of Salford, I have worked for the NHS in both primary and acute care settings.  During my postgraduate professional education I qualified as Specialist District Nurse Practitioner (BSc Hons) at the University of Bolton in 2012, and studied Tissue Viability (MSc) at Huddersfield University in 2018.  I am also a Clinical Practice Teacher and Non-Medical Prescriber.  

I have developed specialist advanced skills in wound care, leg ulceration, hard to heal wounds and pressure ulcer prevention.  As a clinical practice teacher I deliver education in pressure ulcer prevention on a daily basis, while undertaking clinical audits to reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers.  I have presented locally, nationally and internationally on the importance of education in terms of pressure ulcer prevention. 

I work alongside Healthcare Improvement Scotland as a member of the pressure ulcer expert group, contributing towards guidelines to improve the prevention and management of pressure ulcers. 

I accept instructions from both claimant and defendant solicitors and insurers. I have undergone formal training in the medico-legal process and am fully aware of my responsibilities under Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) pertaining to expert witnesses.
