She talks of her career as a clinical children's nurse including her interest in post-anaesthetic care for children, citing the importance of highly developed climical skills and the need for reassurance and support. She talks of her experience of undertaking her PhD on the way children are cared for in hospital comparing developed and developing countries and her insights on the evolution of family-centred care.
