Background
With a background in mental health nursing I have worked in the third sector and NHS before moving into academia full time in 2005. My primary interests are in the healthcare related experiences of people who occupy marginalised positions including people with mental health diagnoses, those experiencing homelessness, members of the LGBT+ community, and those from other minoritised communities. In my research I try to work in a way that makes space for marginalised voices to be heard, and use poetry as a means of engaging audiences with research findings.
My other focus is the development of the nursing workforce, and in particular the support and retention of newly qualified nurses. I work in collaboration with NHS Education for Scotland and with NHS Lothian to support and evaluate the development of models of preceptorship and support for newly qualified nurses.

Research summary
My research is driven by a desire for social justice, and to improve the experience and retention of the nursing workforce.
