About Linda
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have twenty years experience of being a Senior University Lecturer; teaching on many varied courses in Health and Health and Social Care/Health Promotion/Public Health and also writing various health courses within the Higher Education arena.
I have taught pre and post registration courses in Nursing and Midwifery and was Course Leader for the Return to Practice for Nurses course for 5 years..
I have been an External Examiner for health courses at another University. I am very dedicated to study skills and helping students achieve their full potential.
I was a practicing midwife (and previously a nurse) for 12 years in all clinical areas so I understand the intrinsic academic skill of applying theory to clinical practice ,whatever health professional career is chosen.
I was a Senior University Lecturer until 2014 and am now enjoying helping students achieve their goals on a one to one basis.
Prior to going into teaching I began my career as a Nurse and later trained as a Midwife on moved across to midwifery where I practiced for 12 years. I was a Sister Midwife in all areas of midwifery before transferring into teaching and therefore I understand the application of academic knowledge to professional practice.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
I have not needed a DBS check to do my work since I was in practice as a Midwife some years ago.I teach adults.
- Where and with whom did you train?
My Nursing and Midwifery training and Careers were in Wakefield.
However, my career as a Senior University Lecturer was at Huddersfield University.
- Do you belong to any professional organisations?
I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Authority
I am a Member of the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists
- Tell me about some of your current students.
I am working with Student Nurses at the moment studying for their Honours Degree, Masters Students in Nursing and on the Nurse Practitioner course.
I have two students both studying for Health and Social Care Degrees.
Most of the students are studying part time as they have work/ family commitments.

The feeling of achievement when you have worked hard and are successful is immense and very well deserved in this ever changing world of work where nothing is certain.
