Charlotte qualified as registered nurse in 2003 following an initial undergraduate academic grounding in Biological Sciences at Newcastle University. Having practised and researched in the critical care environment for a number of years, she moved to focus her career towards the management and delivery of clinical research trials across multiple clinical and disease specialties, but predominantly in the field of diabetes prevention and management. This allowed her to deliver cutting edge therapies to NHS patients, gaining a broad understanding of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and extensive advanced clinical skills.
The arena of clinical trials enabled her to work collaboratively across the healthcare and pharma industries both nationally and internationally for over 10 years.
Charlotte was awarded the Alice Corey MRC research scholarship in order to undertake a Master of Clinical Research awarded by Newcastle University in 2011. Charlotte is currently studying for her PhD in Nursing Practice Development Research, exploring the biopsychosocial aspects and user acceptability of wearable glucose monitoring technology in adults with diabetes and has published recent work focusing on diabetes and wellbeing and the evolution of diabetes technologies.
Charlotte leads diabetes education at Northumbria University. Working closely with experts in practice in the delivery of diabetes education and research, enables her to maintain close links and contemporary understanding of the clinical care of people living with diabetes.
Expertise in teaching and learning practice is recognised through her award of Fellowship to the Higher Education Academy and leadership of the MSc in Health and Social Practice post graduate pathways.
She is Chair of the Royal College of Nursing National Diabetes Steering group, has recently been accepted as a member of the European Psychosocial Aspects of Diabetes (PSAD) study group and is a member of the Foundation of European Nurses in Diabetes (FEND), demonstrating impact and engagement, influencing policy and professional guidance at a national and international level.
Charlotte was involved in the COVID-19 national vaccination programme both as a RHCP vaccinator, and as a vaccinator trainer. She has published a number of papers during the pandemic focussing on vaccine therapies and personal protective equiptment and continues to develop research activites around vaccination acceptance.
