I am a Registered Advanced Nurse Practitioner (RANP) specialising in Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) and Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) at Galway University Hospital’s urology day services. My role primarily involves managing men with LUTS and those needing ESWL for stone treatment. Additionally, I teach patients intermittent self-catheterisation and self-dilatation, and I conduct invasive urodynamic studies to inform treatment decisions. I collaborate with all eight consultant urologists at Galway University Hospital.

I graduated with an honour’s degree in General Nursing from Athlone Institute of Technology in 2006. With 15 years of urology experience in both Australia and Ireland, I completed a postgraduate diploma in urology from RCSI in 2019. In 2022, I became a registered nurse prescriber and earned a master’s degree in Advanced Practice in June 2023, along with a certificate in Authority to Refer for Ionizing Procedures.

Research: Research and audit are key aspects of my role. I recently participated in a study with the Health and Innovation HUB in GUH on “Convolutional Neural Network for Ultrasound Bladder Scanner.” Additionally, I contributed to a cross-sectional study on patient enablement after consultations with an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, which has been published.
