Clinician: Completed registered nurse training within Glasgow Royal Infirmary in 1990 and have continued to work within a vast range of different areas gaining extensive experience, teaching, and advanced clinical skills, as part of an integrated multi-disciplinary team. In 2003, I was the first Chairperson for the NHSGCC Nurse Practitioners, in which I led the educational development and support network for this new and autonomous workforce. I have been able to reduce harmful variations and costs within the healthcare service by implementing project management skills and utilising transformational communication skills to modernise and implement change in various successful projects. I maintain my clinical skills with locum work working within most of the Scottish health boards including islands which highlighted the supplementary requirements for community and remote settings.
