I have worked full time in various mental health settings, including Adult Inpatient Care, Community Mental Health, Early Intervention in Psychosis and in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), specialising in ADHD and Autism.
I have professionally developed throughout my nursing career and gained a BSc in Specialist Community Practice in Mental Health in 2006, completed my Independent Prescribing qualification in 2014, and gained an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice in 2020.
