Susan is an Academic Conduct Officer (ACO) within the School of Nursing, Midwifery & Social Care and is a member of the Fitness to Practice Committee. Susan sees a key part of her ACO role as one where she helps to educate the students within the School to prevent them from breaching academic regulations. She is also involved in giving students guidance in how to conduct themselves in a professional manner to ensure they are fit to practice as a nurse or midwife.

Susan’s research interests include care of cardiac patients and the health of student nurses and she is currently undertaking a research degree.
