Angela Nunn

Angela Nunn serves as a Clinical Skills Tutor at Anglia Ruskin University's School of Medicine within the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Social Care. With fifteen years as a cardiac intensive care nursing sister and three years as a clinical site manager, she delivers expert training in clinical skills, simulation, patient safety, and human factors to medical students, nurses, doctors, and multi-professional groups across the UK healthcare system.

Her academic credentials include an MA in Clinical Education from the Institute of Education, London University (2011), a BSc in Health Studies & Social Biology (Hons) from Roehampton Institute of Higher Education (1997), and Registered General Nurse certification from Nottingham School of Nursing (1982-1986).

Nunn's work centers on simulation-based medical education, with emphasis on acute care scenarios and human factors to enhance clinical competencies. She has developed specialized training for crisis resource management, maternal critical care, and trauma response, while pioneering faculty development programs that bridge clinical practice and educational theory. Her approach integrates high-fidelity simulation with safety science principles to transform healthcare training.

Her publication trajectory reveals consistent innovation in simulation pedagogy since 2004, evolving from foundational nursing applications to complex interprofessional training systems. Key themes include standardization of simulation quality, curriculum integration for foundation doctors, and youth engagement in healthcare careers—culminating in award-winning contributions to simulation methodology.

Notable scientific recognition includes:

• Election as Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
• BMA award in the Basis of Medicine category (2009) for co-authoring "Scenario Design: Theory to Delivery" in the acclaimed Manual of Simulation in Health Care

Nunn actively supervises research while extending her impact through NHS consultancy, having designed bespoke faculty development programs for Sandwell & Dudley, East Kent & Canterbury, East London Healthcare, and Wolverhampton trusts between 2011-2016. Her advisory role with Sandwell & Dudley simulation center encompasses facility design and delivery systems.

She collaborates across NHS simulation networks as an Honorary Lecturer at Barts & the London School of Medicine & Dentistry, driving national standards in simulation facility development and faculty training—particularly through her work with East of England simulation centers and the KSS Deanery.
