I have developed expertise in online / blended learning formats, and in developing multilingual / culturally sensitive study materials, producing creative media and interactive videos, and in recorded / AI assessments to provide individualised teaching, assessments and feedback.  At a national level, I led a group in Nursing related to eportfolio and reflective learning.

Advanced Practice Nursing' is my clinical area of expertise.
