Breve biografía:

I am a registered general nurse who has specialised in adolescent and young adult cancer (AYAC). I was the first appointed young adult cancer nurse specialist in 2007. I worked with Dr Helen Hatcher to develop services from a standing start for Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust making it the first principal treatment centre for East Anglia. During this time, I completed a post graduate certificate in education (PGCE) and Masters in Young Adult Cancer Care at Coventry University and contributed as a lecturer on that course.

In 2015 I moved into clinical education and have been teaching clinical communication skills to undergraduate medical students and facilitating advanced communication skills to interdisciplinary professionals across the region. I also gained the status of fellow of higher education association (FHEA) and maintained clinical work as a late effects nurse specialist.

I am currently a Wellcome funded PhD student at Cambridge University combining my two areas of specialist interest: clinical communication and AYAC. I am researching triadic communication and aim to develop a training intervention in a large qualitative co-design study to educate healthcare professionals to communicate effectively with young people with cancer.
