Biography
A key motivator underpinning Louise's work as an academic is the contribution education makes to transforming lives. Louise has held several senior leadership positions, recently as the Vice Dean (Education) from 2015-2022 in the Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care.
Louise has an in-depth knowledge of strategic drivers that shape priorities for the higher education sector, including teaching quality, inclusive education, student success, and the student experience. A golden thread to the professional principles is to be clear in purpose and to work collaboratively with stakeholders to design and implement strategies for change.
Louise has collaborated nationally and internationally on research, quality assurance reviews, and policy development initiatives. Louise's research focuses principally on two interrelated areas: The nursing workforce: role development and job satisfaction; and Nursing education: effectiveness and student perspectives. Her recent collaboration was with Professor Kristy Martyn from Emory University who was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to explore nursing education in the context of Covid 19 and lessons learned from the perspective of senior leaders in England.
