Dr Walter Tasosa

I hold a PhD in Health and Wellbeing attained at Sheffield Hallam University in 2018, a Master of Public Health, and an Advanced Diploma in Nursing Studies, both completed at the University of Sheffield in 2012 and 2003 respectively. I am also a fellow of Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and an Associate member of the Royal Society of Public Health (ARSPH). Since completion of my Advanced Diploma in Nursing Studies, I have worked in a variety of mental health settings, both in the NHS and in the independent sector. My clinical practice is broad, but I have significant experience of working in admissions, acute and rehabilitation inpatient settings as well as in the community. Since leaving full time practice in 2018, my work has been in Higher Education. I have found this rewarding in that nurse education ensures that the healthcare system continues to have skilled professionals to meet patient needs and that the knowledge and skills we instill instill in our students teach our students lead to better health outcomes, patient safety, and satisfaction. I currently teach and supervise both undergraduate and postgraduate students in mental health nursing, and public health.
