Lucy Merrill

Clinical Educator, Menopause Champion and Staff Health and Wellbeing Champion

PGCert Health Professions Education

After obtaining a postgraduate diploma in nursing studies in 2014, I began my career as a staff nurse. I developed a keen interest in working in primary care, helping to prevent hospital admissions, and following patient journeys to improve their long-term health.

In 2019 I was fortunate to secure a role as a trainee general practice nurse and completed a postgraduate certificate in practice nursing. In 2020, I joined Lincolnshire Training Hub as a junior fellow, working on a project to increase student placements in primary care and to promote the role of a general practice nurse.

Following my fellowship, I became a clinical educator, completing my postgraduate certificate in health professions education in 2022, and going on to become the lead clinical educator with Lincolnshire Training Hub. My role includes developing and delivering training sessions and assisting with hybrid ‘insight into primary care’ placements that have facilitated the increase in placements offered across multi professional roles.

I am passionate about education and working with students and staff to learn new skills, supporting our future workforce to deliver the best quality of care.

I have also recently taken steps to become a menopause champion and health and wellbeing champion to support the wellbeing of our workforce.
