Meet the Committee 

Hello

My name is Amanda Curtis - and I am your Branch Educational Development Advisor for the Chiltern area.

For those of you that I have not had the opportunity to meet yet, I have provided a quick resume of who I am, a little bit of my background, and my aspirations for supporting you as a membership.

I am forty something..... married with a little boy who is 7 going on 27! and I live in Northamptonshire.

I have been a registered nurse for over twenty five years, predominantly specialising in accident and emergency care,  and later went on to be a national peer reviewer for serious adverse events.

I have always had a passion for educational development, not just my own but others too. I completed my bachelors degree in health care, and went on to further study with a Management Diploma, and a Certificate in Employment Relations Law and Practice- which I was able to utilise in the management of Personal Injury Claims.

Already you can see a theme here ....... lots of educational development, lots of reflection and consolidation.

I came into Health and Safety by accident about 4 years ago, and loved the variety of activities that I was responsible for - not forgetting  the many challenges too! I completed my NEBOSH Certificate  and was accepted at Tech level through IOSH.

I am now undertaking my Level 6 Diploma - and thoroughly enjoying it.

I am passionate about continuous professional development and supporting others through that journey of  reflective writing, action planning and anything else that supports  career enhancement and progression.

I hope to be a great resource for you,  and will be more than happy to spend some time brainstorming some of your concerns and frustrations that will hopefully remove some of those obstacles and in turn enhance  your career and job/role satisfaction.

Come and say hi, when you are next at the Branch meeting,

I look forward to meeting you.

Amanda Curtis

Branch Educational Development Advisor (Chiltern) and Web champion.
