Dr Kim Nurse
Kim is currently a GP ST1 in the London Deanery.
She graduated from Newcastle University in 2010, completing foundation training in the region before working in Australia in Emergency Medicine for 2 years. She returned to the UK in 2014 to undertake ACCS Acute Medicine Training in the North East of England.
Keen to enhance her leadership skills, she moved to London to undertake a Darzi Fellowship working on numerous projects to improve patient flow and winning a small grant award from the Health Innovation Network to develop an innovative co-produced project in conjunction with the University for Creative Arts, to create videos for patients and families to better understand the discharge process. During this year, Kim completed a post-graduate certificate in Health Care Leadership, receiving a special commendation for the highest mark in the cohort.
Interested in how the NHS works as a system, she joined the Clinical Policy Team within Specialised Commissioning at NHS England in 2018, working on the development of clinical policies for drugs and devices and gaining an understanding as to how funding is allocated within the NHS.
Kim holds a Masters in Clinical Education from the University of Edinburgh and teaches on the MSc Clinical Pharmacy programme at Sunderland University. She is currently training to be an Action Learning Set Facilitator for the NHS Graduate Management Scheme through the NHS Leadership Academy.
Kim is particularly interested in healthcare sustainability, quality improvement and system change, leading her to pursue a career in General Practice and the opportunities this specialism provides. Passionate about inclusive leadership, accessible for all, Kim is keen to bring junior doctors together with management trainees at an earlier stage in their training, to benefit from the potential relationships and learning this opportunity could provide.
