Delivered by Elaine Cook

Clinical Tutor, having retired with the NMC.

I became a Registered General Nurse in 1984 & held a variety of positions in the Hospital setting and since 1992 primarily working in General Practice.

My interests have always somehow focussed on Respiratory disease and after obtaining a DipHE in Advanced Practice Assessment in 1998 then the Nurse Prescriber qualification in 2003, I completed a Masters (MSc) in Respiratory Care with Education for Health in 2009.

When I retired from my clinical role in 2020, I had attained the Nurse Consultant title in a Nurse-led organisation, where I worked for 17 years and had held the Respiratory Primary Care Clinical Lead role for my local area from 2008-2023.

I can now dedicate myself to my passion for teaching and education for the future benefit of patients with respiratory diseases.
