Jackie Davenport

I am an adult nurse with over 30 years of clinical experience. I began as a staff nurse in Walton Neuro, becoming a senior sister in a busy city centre emergency department and the moving into primary care as a nurse practitioner in a suite of Walk in Centres. I set up and managed a minor injury centre for children which became the first walk in centre for children in the country.
I moved into academia in 2001 and loved my job as a Senior Lecturer in Adult Nursing.
I love supporting students through their academic studies and seeing them develop their knowledge and skills and professional identity. Graduation is my favourite day of the year.
My key teaching areas have been leadership, clinical skills, mentorship, and teaching and learning in practice It is great to meet past students and to hear about how they have utilised their studies to progress their careers in clinical practice, and see them return to LJMU for further study.
I have recently moved away from direct teaching into my role as Head of Curriculum Development and Enhancement. I find this role is a natural progression to utilise my academic experience in supporting others to ensure the programmes we develop and deliver, continue to be current and relevant ,and meet the high standards needed to keep patients safe.
