Marion Waite

Role

After a career in the NHS as a nurse, midwife, and health visitor Marion joined Higher Education  to follow her interest in professional education and research.

Since joining Oxford Brookes University Marion has developed her role as an expert teacher, staff developer, and an emerging health care researcher in the field of diabetes care and self-management with advanced technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and immersive technology

Marion's work is at the interface between human development from a sociocultural perspective and healthcare practice. Marion’s DPhil (Ph.D.) research undertaken at the University of Oxford examined how nurses develop relational agency in their transitions to become academic research writers. Marion extends the sociocultural approach to her research and educational development in digital nursing capacity and capability and has been awarded a Florence Nightingale Foundation Digital Leadership Scholarship 23/24.
