About

Kelsie has a passion for disaster management and response research, focusing on the role of the nurse and the strategic management of disasters. She is currently undertaking her PhD - titled 'The lived experiences of nurses working in disaster management and deployed in response to an international disaster'. Using Charmaz's grounded theory approach, due to personal experiences of deploying in response to conflict and natural disasters, Kelsie aims to co-construct the understanding of this experience with participants.

In response to covid-19, Kelsie was also involved in a joint project with Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust, Dr Michele Board (BU), Dr Janet Scammell (BU), and Dr Dawn Morley (BU) funded by Health Education England (£20,000). This project examined the roles of advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) in response to covid-19.
