I specialised in the Critical Care Outreach Team at King’s College Hospital, after completing my MSc in Advanced Practice in Critical Care in 2015.
In 2018, I was appointed as a Lecturer Practitioner in Intensive Care at UWL teaching on the ITU course. I had a joint appointment at the London Northwest Healthcare Trust as the Lead in Education in Intensive Care Nursing, where I introduced the in-house Intensive Care Adult course with UWL partnership during the COVID-19 pandemic. After the completion of the Academic Professional Apprenticeship,
