Having qualified as a general nurse in 1981, and following further training Gerry established himself as a children's nurse, occupying junior and senior positions in practice. His clinical experience is largely related to the care of chronically ill children, and their families, from multicultural communities.
Gerry moved into health professional education in 1991, gaining a first degree in nursing with education. He established the first preregistration children's nursing curriculum (and post reg degree programme) at the University of Bradford, both of which he led between 1996 and 2002. A master's degree in child health/nursing followed in 1998 from the University of Manchester. His publications are varied, including work on the sociology of childhood, nursing assessment, legal issues in child care, and his current research interest - drug errors and reporting errors. He has recently been awarded a Research Development Award by the DoH to study drug errors full time for three years.
