About

I'm on a mission to make a difference in Simulation-Based Education at the University of Derby. As a go-to person for all things technical in the School of Health and Social Care, I wear many hats. From supporting facilitators in the teaching of clinical skills; to diving into the exciting realm of Simulation-Based Education, every day is a new adventure.

My focus is ensuring we deliver top-notch experiences by maintaining the fidelity of simulations and keeping our teaching practices up-to-date. I'm the bridge that connects our facilitators with the latest and greatest in technology, always striving to provide them with the best tools for the job.

Behind the scenes, I build and nurture relationships with suppliers, ensuring we have access to state-of-the-art equipment that keeps our learning environment cutting-edge. It's not just a job; it's a commitment to excellence and innovation.
