Erica has worked at Liverpool John Moores University since 2019.
After completing a BA Hons in Child Nursing in 2003 at Liverpool John Moores University, Erica went on to obtain a MSc in Child Nursing Studies at the University of Manchester in 2008.
Erica's clinical career has been based at Alder Hey which has included working on a busy surgical children's ward and more recently a research nurse working on early phase clinical trials for paediatric oncology patients.
Erica's research path has focused upon her main interests which include exploring children, young people and their families needs around palliative care, sexual health in children and young people, and parent and patient satisfaction in the care that is delivered. As well as the work being published some of the findings have also been presented at research conferences such as the RCN International Nursing Research Conference.
Erica's academic career sees her involved in delivering and running modules which include practical skills, leadership and change management and how to deliver safe and quality care to children, young people and their families.
