Kerry Laffan
Kerry is a Commercial Interprofessional Educator and she designs and creates bespoke training and education for the DREEAM commercial portfolio and delivers a variety of courses to NHS staff from NUH and surrounding Trusts, EMAS personnel and also young people from local schools in all aspects of health and wellbeing.
Kerry studied at the University of Leeds where she achieved her DipHE in Adult Nursing, then went on to complete a Bsc (hons) in Emergency Care at the University of Bristol and she is very much looking forward to undertaking the post graduate certificate in Medical Education at the University of Nottingham as part of the Masters in Medical Education, to enhance her skills and knowledge as an educator. Kerry’s background is in Emergency Care and Acute Medicine since graduating in 2001.
Kerry’s biggest achievements since joining DREEAM was the creation and implementation of a new, five week registered nurse induction programme and developing new courses for the commercial team, including community patient assessment, intravenous therapy and venous blood gases, all of which have been extremely successful in their implementation and something she has found extremely rewarding. Creating and delivering a six week schools education programme, covering topics including substance misuse, online safety and sexual health was an extremely positive experience and we have been invited back again for the next school year.
Outside of work Kerry lives in the country and loves everything outdoors, especially woodwork and caring for her dog Lottie and cat Ali.
