About
I started my NHS career as a Healthcare assistant in 2000 and subsequently gained a Diploma in Nursing from Kingston University in 2006, followed by a BSc First Class Honours in Nursing Practice from King’s College London 2014. Over the years I worked in different clinical settings including Neurology and Neurosciences. In 2011 I joined the vascular access team under the auspices of Infection Prevention and Control at King’s College Hospital (KCH). I left KCH in December 2021 to join the vascular access team at The Royal Marsden Hospital.
In 2013/14 I set up the Vascular Access service at the King’s Princess Royal Hospital which includes bedside PICC insertion utilising ECG technology. I have been involved in and lead on several successful cost saving initiatives including the implementation of clinically indicated removal of PVCs in 2017.
I am passionate about the insertion, care, and maintenance of vascular access devices and utilise best available evidence to set and maintain standards through training and education.
To date I have published several journal articles.
