Biography
Hannah is a seasoned Advanced Critical Care Practitioner, balancing both clinical expertise and academic pursuits. Within the realm of Adult Intensive Care, she specialises in cardiothoracic surgery and ECMO, boasting over a decade of experience. Her proficiency extends to critical care echocardiography and ultrasound, where she holds notable national roles associated with critical care ultrasound, such as National FUSIC Heart Lead (Intensive Care Society) and examiner for the British Society of Echocardiography. Beyond her clinical endeavors, she spearheads the successful medical education company 'g&h CritCareEcho', facilitating monthly courses covering national ultrasound curricula aimed enhancing the skills of medics and allied health professionals alike.
In academia, Hannah's influence is equally profound. As the Programme Director for the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice and an Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham, she leads by example. She also assumes the role of module lead for the final year ACP module, Transition to Advanced Clinical Practice (EPA).
A dedicated clinical researcher, Hannah is currently immersed in studying the efficacy of telemedicine in enhancing echocardiography mentoring within intensive care settings. Her research interests further extend to the characterization of right ventricular (RV) injury, where she co-chairs PRORVnet, an international RV-centric research network, and ACPAN, a national network dedicated to ACP-related research.
Hannah's dedication to enhancing practice is apparent through her active engagement in numerous national committees associated with Advanced Clinical Practice. Particularly noteworthy is her role as the Chair of the Advanced Practitioners in Critical Care Professional Advisory Group within the Intensive Care Society. Furthermore, Hannah has contributed as a chapter author to several seminal texts on Advanced Practice, the references for which are listed in the publications section below.
