Devi Nannen serves as Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in Adult Nursing at the University of York, leveraging extensive clinical experience from South Africa across medical, surgical, A&E, and intensive care settings alongside international healthcare work before transitioning to academia. Her expertise centers on innovative pedagogical approaches in nursing education.
Her academic credentials include:

Nannen's research investigates graduate nursing students' transition into clinical practice through Bourdieu's Cultural and Social Capital lens, with emphasis on simulation-based and problem-based learning methodologies. She champions contextual learning environments and structured reflective feedback systems to accelerate professional development, while her work addresses critical challenges in student retention and clinical placement effectiveness. Current projects focus on assessment innovation and sepsis management education.
Her publication portfolio (2012-2018) reveals consistent thematic focus on nursing education transformation, particularly assessment design (notably Assertion-Reason Questions for graduate nurses), clinical placement optimization, and student transition support. Key trends include evidence-based bibliography evaluation, retention strategy development through student forums, and simulation efficacy studies.

Nannen chairs both the Department's Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Committee and Undergraduate Board of Examiners while serving as Department Equality and Diversity Champion. Her academic leadership extends to curriculum development for undergraduate modules (Professional Identity, Communication Skills, Practice Experience) and postgraduate courses (Acute Care Management, Nursing Practice). External examiner roles at Edinburgh Napier University demonstrate sector-wide influence.
No dedicated research laboratories are documented, though her collaborative conference presentations indicate active participation in national nursing education networks including NET and HEA forums.
