Profile: As a lecturer in nursing at the University of Sheffield, I research new and advancing roles in healthcare (such as the nursing associate and advanced clinical practitioner (ACP) roles) and teach on several programmes. I have worked clinically across a range of healthcare settings, including emergency admissions, substance misuse and urgent care; most recently as a primary care advanced nurse practitioner (ANP). My PhD, based at the School of Health and Related �鶹��Ƶ (ScHARR), explored knowledge mobilisation in ANP clinical decision making in the emergency department, using ethnography. I contribute to module leadership and am co-chair of the school’s ethics committee.

�鶹��Ƶ interests

My research focuses on emerging roles within the healthcare workforce. Between 2018 and 2022 I worked on a programme of research studying nursing workforce issues. In June 2022 I was awarded a Florence Nightingale Foundation Scholarship to travel to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, where I explored how ACPs have adapted their work through the COVID-19 pandemic. I am currently working on a project researching enhanced and advanced roles in systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT), funded by the Cancer Alliance.

I have experience in a range of qualitative methods, including, interviews, observations, and focus groups, and have contributed to mixed methods projects and literature reviews.
