I have been involved in endoscopy since 1995, firstly as a staff nurse and then eventually holding several nurse specialist posts, including being a clinical endoscopist for the last 18 years. More recently I have been involved in training, education and development which is now the majority of my current role. I have always been passionate about training and education and with my enthusiasm for endoscopy this gives me a very engaging career pathway. I am a final year PhD student examining the lived experience of endoscopy trainees and I am an active member of BGSNA and I sit on various committees and working parties including those on sustainability.
