Outline of Career

After qualifying as an Occupational Therapist in 1994, Sally worked in a range of mental health services in London, including adult inpatient, forensic and community. She moved back to my home county of Suffolk to pursue my interest in working with people with severe and enduring mental illness. It was within this job that she discovered 'psychosocial' interventions. This not only broadened her knowledge and developed her clinical confidence but gave her a chance to engage again with the academic community, this time as a teacher.

Through this experience Sally was able to expand her understanding of psychosocial interventions as well as develop her knowledge and skills in teaching and learning and she decided to work full time in education.

Sally now has the following roles; Pathway Lead for the BSc (Hons) Mental Health; Teaching and Learning Lead for Mental Health Department; Distance Learning Advisory Committee Member FHSCE and Educational link for pre-registration nursing placements in the Private Sector in Cambridgeshire.

Research Interests

Sally's research interests focus on how to make learning accessible to busy practitioners and how to develop understanding of the experience of distance learning for both teachers and learners.
