I have been a qualified children's nurse since 1994, and worked in general paediatrics, paediatric ICU and neuroscience before specialising in paediatric endocrinology in 2000. During this time I focused on advancing my education by studying for a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, an MSc in Occupational Psychology and an MSc in Professional Healthcare Research.
I have become well-known internationally within paediatric endocrinology, having presented and published widely. My experience as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Paediatric Endocrinology has led me to work with some of the world’s leading experts across several London NHS Trusts.
I have been actively involved in clinical endocrine research throughout my senior nursing career, focusing on genetics in short stature, clinical trials, and differences in sex development. I have also studied whistleblowing amongst nurses for my MSc in Occupational Psychology, and advanced nursing practice amongst clinical nurse specialists and advanced nurse practitioners for the MSc in Professional Healthcare Research. I was awarded the Paediatric Endocrine Nurse Award in 2014 from the British Society of Paediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes, for my research looking at endocrine nurses, research and social media. I have recently commenced my PhD in Nursing, exploring monitoring and adherence in young people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, working closely with University College London Hospitals NHS Trust, and Barts Health NHS Trust.
I am also part of the departments ethics committee, systematic review board, and the academic misconduct committee.
