Teaching Interests

My teaching is guided by my personal philosophy of teaching and learning.

"Look in the invisible mirror at yourself. What you are looking for in the pupil you should be checking for in yourself" (Blum 2001:50)

My person philosophy has been shaped by experiences of my own life, education and my career interacting and working with people. These experiences shape my educational philosophy which will continue to guide me when I am engaging with students. My teaching responsibilities are focused on undergraduate and postgraduate education in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. My current teaching interests focus on teaching and learning strategies, curriculum development, mental health nursing, problem based learning, skills teaching (OSCE, simulation, virtual realty) clinical supervision, communications, interagency collaboration, user involvement in curricula, e-learning and medication concordance.The teaching strategies that I use are wide and varied. I am module lead for a number of undergraduate/postgraduate modules.
