Jacqui Laden

I joined the School of Health Sciences in 2016 as a Teaching Fellow for Integrated Care. Since qualifying as a registered Adult Nurse I have worked in both the National Health Service (NHS) and private sector in London, Surrey and Hampshire. My experience spans across a variety of areas which include Cardiac Nursing, Coronary Care, Critical Care Nursing (including transplants) and Practice Nursing in the Community.  I have pursued further study in all these areas.  I have also completed a post graduate Diploma in Tropical Nursing at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and have an interest in healthcare in the developing world.  During my London Critical Care career I was involved in Clinical Governance and Policy Development, and was a nominated finalist for “Nurse of the Year Award 2009” following feedback from patients and staff.  

Prior to joining the University I worked in Clinical Education in a partner NHS Trust, supporting student nurses in clinical practice. It was in this role that I began my relationship with the University and developed a real curiosity and enthusiasm for clinical education.  Since moving into education I have completed my Post Graduate Certificate in Education for Professional Practice (PGCEPP) enabling me to gain qualified teacher status with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. At the University I teach on the professional preparation programmes and link with clinical practice to provide support to students whilst they are on clinical placement.
