After years of working across emergency nursing, public health, and health protection, I finally wrote my first book.
📘 Better to Ask Than to Harm
A Nurse’s Survival Guide to Safe Practice and Lasting Confidence
This book was written from real experiences, real shifts, real pressure, and real lessons.
Over the years, I have seen good nurses make mistakes, not because they were bad nurses, but because they were overwhelmed, unsupported, afraid to ask questions, or working in environments where speaking up did not feel safe.
One thing I have learned throughout my career is this:
The safest nurses are not the nurses who know everything.
They are the nurses who ask.
This book is my honest reflection on patient safety, professional accountability, burnout, confidence, medication errors, speaking up, protecting your license, and surviving the realities of nursing practice without losing yourself in the process.
I wrote this book because I genuinely care about nurses and the future of our profession.
I am also deeply honoured that my mentor, Gill Tanner, who has watched my professional journey over the years, wrote the foreword for the book and strongly believed in both the message and the importance of the conversations inside it.
📅 Official release date: August 1st
📍Amazon launch coming soon — and trust me, it will be worth the wait.
This is my first book of many more to come, covering nursing, life, career growth, relocation, purpose, and the journey in between.
Also, I would genuinely appreciate your support here:
If you know any nursing schools, universities, nurse educators, lecturers, practice assessors, or anyone connected to nursing education in the UK that may benefit from this book or might be interested in collaborating, stocking, sharing, or discussing it with students and nurses, please mention them below or feel free to connect us.
I truly believe these conversations need to happen earlier in nursing careers, not after mistakes happen.
Thank you for all the support so far.
