For People with Learning Disabilities

Welcome to my website. Here you will find what I'm up to, about my publications, training, coproduction and what my values are.

My day job is Practice Development Nurse for Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. Its a role that I love and get a lot of satisfaction from. This site is my hobby and I try my best not to cross the two roles. Although their paths may cross when I am promoting one thing that benefits both - for example a free publication.

You may find some typos, spelling mistakes or a word missing that changes the context of a sentence. You see I've had a stroke and will always have hemianopia, so please cut me some slack. I do this website in my own time. Hope you enjoy the site!
