Title
CNS Tissue Viability, Nottingham City Care
Bio
I have 37 years of clinical experience in nursing and the last 27 years as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Tissue Viability with Nottingham CityCare, providing advice and support to patients, carers and clinicians on all aspects of pressure ulcer prevention and optimisation of wound healing. I am actively involved in developing and delivering teaching packages and have been instrumental in the development of local policies and guidelines to ensure consistencies in tissue viability practices in line with national guidance and directives. My additional role involves working with the University of Nottingham as a Teaching Associate developing accredited courses in tissue viability at Degree and Masters Level and have recently developed online courses encompassing wounds relating to impaired skin integrity and hard to heal wounds.
I completed a Masters Programme in 2019 on Evidence for Health and Social Care where my interest in biofilm began to grow and my dissertation appraised the most effective strategies for biofilm-based wound care in clinical practice, leading to the implementation of evidence-based guidance for the management of hard to heal wounds. Working alongside industry, I have been fortunate to speak at the EWMA conference 2019 in Gothenburg on biofilm based wound care. In 2020 I was invited to take part in the Wound Care Today Facebook Live Streams delivering a presentation on Moisture Associated Skin Damage. Most recently, I have been privileged to both Chair and speak at a conference in Birmingham, with a focus on the science behind hard-to-heal wounds and evidence-based interventions.
