Jaden Allan MSc, PG Dip, BSc (Hons), RN, SFHEA. Director of Transnational Education (TNE)Senior Lecturer, Learning Leadership Lead (Peer support), Department of Nursing, Midwifery and Health.

Since joining the university, Jaden has held a number of complex module lead roles and he has been instrumental in developing the use of simulation within the nursing curriculum. Having many years of senior lecturer experience in teaching and leadership gives Jaden a sound foundation for his strategic and departmental work. Over the past four years Jaden’s roles have include Director of Programs and Director of Learning and Teaching (DLT) with responsibility for curricula revalidation, quality teaching and assessment monitoring, departmental development and university vision delivery.
