Karen originally trained as an Enrolled Nurse back in the 1980’s at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, had a number of years away from health so completed a return to nursing programme in 2004, following on with the conversion to RN(A) before moving into a community role. Completing the SCPHN (SN) PGDip, then MSc Public Health Nursing, she worked for 6 years within a specialist role for children with disabilities before heading into higher education, initially leading the school nurse pathway for the SCHPN programme. The PgC Health Education qualification for NMC Teacher level 4 was completed before moving across to her current role.
