e-learning remains a central focus in my learning and teaching activities. I am a strong advocate of blended learning as a means of supporting professional education and training and provides opportunities for students and staff to develop skills in C&IT at every opportunity.

I have a particular research interest in the development and integration of e-learning, within pre and post registration nurse education and the use of blended and e-learning in CPD activities. I am considering PhD study within these areas.

Potential theme "Influence of learning technologies on Nurse Education/ Professional development activities of Registered nurses in New Zealand".

I am particularly keen to engage with research which brings together my nursing experience and expertise with digital technologies.

What influence do digital technologies have on the health (acquisition/maintenance) of people who have an Intellectual / Learning Disability?

Using technology to monitor health.

Using technology to educate about health.
