People and organisation development are my expertise. I undertook one of the early undergraduate nursing degree programmes at the University of Edinburgh and held clinical, education and research posts in organisations including St Bartholomew’s Hospital, the Royal College of Nursing and the University of Bristol before establishing my own consultancy company in 1998.

As a consultant I undertake work for a wide range of organisations including government departments of health, regulatory bodies, healthcare organisations, charities and professional associations. I am also an experienced Non Executive Director and am currently a Trustee of Morden College – a significant provider of care and supported independent living for older people in South East London. I have a Professional Doctorate in Organisational Change from Ashridge Business School and have published on topics such as nursing and policy, new roles and leadership development. I maintain a keen interest in my original area of clinical practice – nursing older people and have facilitated key events for the PALLUP team.
