Nursing and health care workforce; new and extended roles; nurse migration; recruitment and retention; staff well being and links to patient experience; workforce effectiveness and relationship to patient outcomes and experience. I am passionate about creating positive practice environments for NHS staff and supporting staff in the work they do caring for patients. My programme of research has highlighted how ideals and values of new nursing students can become compromised and crushed in poor work environments and has highlighted the links between staff experiences of work and patient experiences of care.
