Kerry Clark

Kerry qualified as a Registered General Nurse in 1992 from Lancashire College of Nursing and Health, Preston. Prior to joining the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) she has worked in long term conditions, post-operative recovery care and anaesthetics and more recently as a Diabetes Specialist Nurse with acute and community experience. She was a DESMOND educator and worked in promoting the Safer Ramadan project for the people of Preston and Chorley with diabetes. Kerry is also a registered Non-Medical Prescriber and Fellow of the Academy of Higher Education.

Lecturer

Kerry joined the team to support the development of the Trainee Nursing Associate, Higher Apprenticeship programme in April 2019 after joining the School of Nursing and Midwifery at UCLan in 2017. She is a module leader for the long-term conditions taught on the course and utilises her Non-Medical Prescribing experience to support the development of the student’s knowledge in pharmacology and medicines management. Diabetes is still a key element to the teaching provided and Kerry works across the different schools to support the accurate diabetes knowledge for students at all levels. A joint publication in the Nursing Standard relating to managing acute episodes of hyperglycaemia has supported this experience. Broadley, L., Clark, K., & Ritchie, G.L. (2019). Prevention and management of hyperglycaemic crisis. Nursing standard (Royal College of Nursing (Great Britain) : 1987), 34 7, 75-82.
