Steve Searby

I am a Registered General Nurse and I have had a varied nursing career, both as a civilian and within the military.

I joined the university in December 2017, following a teaching role within a hospice as a Lecturer in Palliative Care where I led a programme called Six Steps+ which is an End of Life care programme for care homes.

I have had experience in Higher Education at the University of Surrey and also at Birmingham City University, and I have recently been succesful in becoming a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

My recent clinical roles have included working as a Senior Staff Nurse in a Nursing Home for Ex Service Personnel with Acquired Brain Injuries and also within a hospice setting.

I keep my clinical skills updated, by having an honorary contract one or two days per month in a secondary care setting.
