I am delighted and honoured to have joined the School of Science, Technology and Health - being part of this University feels like joining a real community and like coming home.
“The pandemic has awakened in all of us our closeness to vulnerability and has led to the heightening of our emotions at work and in society. I am passionate about the increased need for nous and the application of greater emotional intelligence in care services. It is exciting to be offered the opportunity to influence the next generation through the School.”
I have already commenced work with the School's leading edge Integrative Nursing courses.
I will be working with a number of the University’s Nursing and Allied Health courses, including:
As the University expands this year into academic courses in Social Work and Paramedic Science I look forward to exploring further collaboration with them.
Vice Chancellor Professor Karen Bryan states “York St John University has a strong history and commitment to social justice being founded in 1841 with the express aim of increasing education for people from a wider range of social backgrounds and that mission is integral to who we are and what we do.”
I see Emotional Intelligence in Care as a vital social justice and diversity issue within health and social care and am excited as I explore collaborating with a wide range of partners.
I look forward to working with providers across the region of the NHS Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group and Adult Social Care.
My international work continues in relation to the above areas of interest.
“Being so many things in life is hard - we thrive at work when they are all valued and harnessed.”

“What an amazing movement. Wouldn’t it be amazing if one day it meant my children could do GCSEs/
A Levels in emotional intelligence.”

Look out for my interview on YouTube on Tuesday 14 December with The Caring View chat show.
“Coming naturally from within or having the opportunity to bring it out - it takes permission to create authenticity at work.”

This personal website aims to be a resource on EI in Care linked to my work at York St John University.
This Book Club will list, review and recommend articles, books and publications in print or via social media that are worth taking note of - I hope this proves useful in building up all our expertise.
There are a lot of people and organisations looking at re envisioning health and social care from a number of perspectives that also link to Emotional Intelligence – below is my first instalment of recommended texts.
Please let me know of anything you come across related to Emotional Intelligence in Care that you discover, recommend or would like to submit a review on – thank you.
