Edwina Morris
I joined the perioperative teaching team at UWL in 2016. Prior to this, I acquired over 40 years of experience working within the NHS. The majority of which was spent in the operating theatre gaining specialist qualifications.
I have had the pleasure of being course lead for three years, and during this time it has been a privilege to guide students to a successful conclusion.
