TEACHING EXPERIENCE - ESSEX


Return to main Professional Activities page


My teaching experience within Psychology has been diverse. Having taught at a University in Northern Ireland for eleven years, I went on in England to further education - on a supply basis, but I have also been an assistant examiner for several boards (but in recent years mainly OCR) and for numerous years.

From 1990 to 1994 I worked at the Institute for Health Studies (now part of Anglia Ruskin University). My teaching there covered the whole gamut of Psychology (at an introductory level), for staff, nurses and nursing students of all ages and seniorities. My more specialised teaching was mainly in the area of mental health. This was not classroom-based only, since I acted as a link tutor between the Institute and placement areas for student mental nurses. I also acted as a personal tutor and a group tutor.

I had some administrative responsibilities for student mental nurses on placement. I participated actively in a curriculum review for the Nursing Registration Diploma, and began development of several modules within the English National Board Framework for Higher Awards for registered nurses.
