Qualifying as a Nurse in 1985, I quickly gained post registration qualifications within several specialities to support my role within emergency medicine and Trauma (Orthopaedic & Trauma Dip.

I worked across 4 different trauma centres in London including ground staff & air based on the first helicopter emergency medicine response (HEMS) unit at the Royal London, Whitechapel.

After returning to the NHS, I worked as Emergency Nurse lead practitioner within the Cardiff & Vale Groups of Hospitals and completed a Cert. Ed and Research Diploma. With a colleague I developed the all Wales Trauma teaching module for the Welsh National Board, and taught on this and as was external examiner for the John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford, who also taught the module (for the English National Board).

My last post within the NHS in 2000 was as Directorate manager for Trauma & Emergency Medicine at University Hospital of Wales. By this time I had also completed via a part time study a M.Sc in Acute care with a management component and a Ph.D (Traumatic Knee injuries- force = outcome).
