New Head of Nursing and Midwifery
Pauline Walsh
Pauline Walsh, Director of Pre-registration Programmes, has been appointed as Head of the School of Nursing and Midwifery, in the Faculty of Health. In line with the University's internal appointment process, Pauline's term of office will be for three years in the first instance.
Pauline's determination and vision impressed the appointments panel, which was chaired by Keele's new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nick Foskett. The School, in common with the rest of the Faculty of Health and wider university sector, is facing a challenging few years as public sector funding is cut. Nursing and midwifery training is currently funded on a commissioned basis by the Strategic Health Authority, so will have to respond to workforce and management changes, as well as the move to an all degree profession.
In congratulating Pauline on her appointment and welcoming her to the Faculty of Health Senior Management Team, the Dean, Professor Andy Garner, also thanked Professor Rebecca Jester for leading the school over the past four years and wished her well in her new job in the Middle East.< back
