Qualified as nurse in the late 1980s and worked in intensive care units across the UK before joining the University of Glamorgan/University of South Wales in 1998. Since then have led our masters programme in disaster healthcare. My current area of research and scholarship is the nature of ethical dilemmas faced by healthcare workers in disasters.
I have worked in humanitarian response operations in Afghanistan and the USA, and worked on disaster education programmes and disaster resilience projects in Uganda, China and Hong Kong.
I am a member of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team
