Adult and Mental Health Nursing

My name is Mariama Seray-Wurie, Associate Professor and Head of Practice Learning for Healthcare Education. I am the lead for practice learning and oversee the management of clinical placements for our healthcare programmes. My background is mainly in pre-registration nursing education and my teaching interests include curriculum development, use of simulation pedagogy within nursing curriculum contributing as an author in nursing topics related to teaching and learning, clinical skills, diversity, inclusivity and cultural awareness within healthcare practice and nurse education. A key part of my role involves working collaboratively with practice learning partners within the NHS and other private, independent and voluntary providers of healthcare to maintain a positive working relationship with partners as they support your learning when you are undertaking practice placement experiences, and I really enjoy talking to students about how you can get the best out of your placement experiences and develop professionally.   

I am a senior lecturer in Nursing Education. I'm the lead for part 1, for cohorts that join the BSc Nursing Programme in February. You may get to meet me on open days or during interviews. We will also meet in a variety of modules I teach across year 1-3 for BSc and year 4 for MSc students. I may also get to meet and support you on my linking duties at Kingston Hospital. I enjoy teaching and learning from students and want students to have the best possible experiences with us! My main interests are currently around leadership in healthcare and impact of generative AI in learning.

My name is Maria Cozens, I am a dual qualified nurse in learning disabilties and mental health with almost 20 years of experience in the healthcare field. I am passionate about supporting others to achieve their goals in life whatever that might be!  Here at Roehampton I teach across a range of pre-registration modules across the years up to Masters level. I am also the course lead for the Nursing Masters Course where I lead on supporting students undertaking a dual field nursing course.

I am very passionate about working as a Senior Lecturer in Mental Health Nursing. I have a background in Psychology, and I am also a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. You may be interested to know that I have achieved my goals and aspirations through

If you are considering a nursing career, I will offer you that commitment and aspire you to reach your goals and full potential in this most awarding career pathway, of, caring for others, protecting the public, and being professional at all times.

I am a lecturer in adult nursing, my clinical nursing background is in cardiology. I am based in the university’s Croydon campus, but I lead and teach on modules at both Roehampton and Croydon. I teach on the nursing degree programmes and the nursing apprenticeship programmes. I am also the Part 2 (year 2) Lead at Croydon, this means I oversee the Part 2 students throughout their studies offering support and guidance where needed. My areas of interest are in pre-registration nurse education and nurse education policy. I am currently leading on the creation and delivery of the I-CAN project which supports care-experienced young people to take the first steps into health and social care careers. The experience and development of our nursing students is very important to me. I take great pride in helping our nursing students develop into professional registered nurses but also into independent learners, who will be able to undertake further study and research after completing the programme. Supporting students to reach their potential and achieve their ambition is an amazing privilege and I consider myself lucky to be a part of the journey from student nurse to registered nurse.
