Sethu Sundari worked in clinical and corporate nursing roles in acute and community settings, in the UK and International healthcare systems for the first 16 years of her career. The majority of her experience centred on critical care nursing and educational leadership. After completing her MSc in Advancing Clinical Practice at the 成人B站, she moved into higher education as a senior lecturer in 2015.

Sethu has led on theory and practice modules, with her expertise in bridging the theory-practice gap and student-led education. Sethu uses her wealth of experience in advanced clinical practice and translates this into innovative simulated educational resources. Her research areas focus primarily on simulated practice and out-reach work championing the professional image of nursing to the future generation.
