I am an experienced Registered Nurse (Adult) having worked in a variety of acute care settings including military hospitals, Independent Sector and NHS.
Over the past 15 years I have been involved in work based learning education and development projects in the NHS.
I joined Swansea University in 2018 as Lecturer and subsequently Programme Director MSc Enhanced Professional Practice.
This module will build on research understanding attained in year two and will further contextualise theoretical and practical knowledge related to the context of paramedic science. It will enable students to further develop research skills and to apply these within the context of practice. The module will enable the student to evaluate evidence based practice and look to the future as to where further research should be undertaken within a specific area of their professional practice. The module will support students to retrieve, analyse and synthesise extensive background literature (literature review) to inform their selected research question. It will also support students to present an abstract and presentation of their research proposal arising from the literature review.
Bydd y modiwl hwn yn adeiladu ar ddealltwriaeth ymchwil a geir ym mlwyddyn dau a bydd yn cyd-destunoli gwybodaeth ddamcaniaethol ac ymarferol ymhellach sy'n gysylltiedig â chyd-destun gwyddor barafeddygol. Bydd yn galluogi myfyrwyr i feithrin sgiliau ymchwil ymhellach ac i gymhwyso'r rhain yng nghyd-destun ymarfer. Bydd y modiwl yn galluogi'r myfyriwr i werthuso ymarfer sy'n seiliedig ar dystiolaeth ac edrych tua'r dyfodol ynghylch lle y dylid cynnal rhagor o ymchwil mewn maes penodol o'i ymarfer proffesiynol. Bydd y modiwl yn cefnogi myfyrwyr i gasglu, dadansoddi a chyfosod llenyddiaeth gefndirol helaeth (adolygiad o lenyddiaeth) i lywio'r cwestiwn ymchwil o'u dewis. Bydd hefyd yn cefnogi myfyrwyr i gyflwyno crynodeb a chyflwyniad o'u cynnig ymchwil sy'n deillio o'r adolygiad o lenyddiaeth.
