My main research interests relate to understanding the
experiences and support needs of disabled children and those
with long-term/life-limiting conditions and their families.
Combining an academic career with bringing up two children
has been enabled by (1) Having a supportive partner who
understands the pressures of academic life and has always
shared childcare and domestic responsibilities. (2) Relative
flexibility of academic life as to when/where to work contract research posts and a supportive working
environment helped me to juggle motherhood and a career . I
was able to work part-time for several months after returning
from maternity leave. (3) Good quality childcare from a local
nursery which included before/after school care and holiday
clubs (4) High degree of organisation and planning.
Although work has been important to both of us, our children
and spending time with them has always come first.

James born. I returned to work after 12
months maternity leave.
My father died after living with vascular
dementia for 2 years & I decided to
withdraw from my PhD & work parttime, 80% FTE
Mark & I value our time together as a family. My termtime contract affords me precious weeks with Oliver 17
& James 11, during their school holidays & the space to
combine family life & motherhood with a wonderfully
diverse & rewarding career.
I value the flexibility my contract affords & the
opportunities provided to exercise my expertise &
experience.

Cambridge and All Souls, Oxford. Completed MSc in Nursing
& discovered I was pregnant just as I commenced my PhD
My teaching is predicated upon an enduring conviction that nursing is a privilege
& a profoundly rewarding professional pursuit. The fact that I am married to an
academic provides us both a shared insight & respect for each other’s roles &
ambitions. As relatively older parents, with children in sixth form & primary
school plus having aged parents of our own, Mark & I need to balance work with
a multiplicity of caring roles. We find my part-time status allows us space to
fulfill our personal & professional ambitions both as academics, partners & most
importantly, parents.

To date my research has focussed on palliative care, developing this

palliative nursing care and how it may be improved within current
political and social regimes. This is achieved by refocusing on how

Research-My research has been broadly based on my clinical interests in
Rehabilitation, fall prevention and the promotion of independence in older
people. Current projects include the development of a falls prevention kinect
exergame, development of a remote rehabilitation service, falls prevention in
people with rheumatoid arthritis and the dissemination of falls prevention
evidence in Europe.
Career-A turning point in my career was being appointed a Lectureship when
pregnant and taking up this role a year later after maternity leave. I doubt that
many employers would have supported this. A few small grants/publications with
good mentorship helped me to gain a fellowship that gave me the flexibility I
needed to balance family life and work. Working part-time and flexibly when the
children were born helped enormously and has been key in continuing to work
with young children. My husband is also able to match this flexibility so we can
maintain our family and work commitments.

Career: Combining a busy academic career with family life
has been challenging. My father became seriously ill with
rheumatoid arthritis when I was a BNurs student. He
later suffered from heart disease. I was one of his two
main carers (along with my mother) until his death in
2002. Although I never took any formal compassionate
leave, the university was understanding about my need
for time to support my parents. In 2007 I married Keith
Brindle, and became step-mother to Elliott and Benjamin.

Teaching & Scholarship
My primary teaching & scholarship interests are in
Clinical Judgement & Decision-Making for Nursing.
I have focused on this in research as well as
scholarship since early in my career, to foster
intelligent caring for nursing practice among our
past, present and future nursing graduates.
My Career
I have always been passionate about nursing and
nursing education, a passion which I share with my
husband. Having a supportive partner in Vic
enabled me to combine motherhood with studying
for a PhD and volunteering as a School Governor
and Chair of Governors. Since we have raised our
family I have been supported by my husband and
step-sons to continue to pursue my goal to become
a leader in nursing education
