Mr Harry De Jesus

I have been awarded a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from the University of Santo Tomas (Philippines) and a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Health and Social Care from Anglia Ruskin University. Further to this, I received my Master in Research in Clinical Research from St. George’s, University of London, which was funded fully by the NIHR masteral studentship program. I have also received funding as a research fellow position from the Collaboration for Leadership Applied Health Research and Care North Thames.
Prior to joining the academia, I worked as a nurse in neonatal and paediatric intensive care settings. During my clinical practice, I have gained specialist training in the neonatal and paediatric setting.  I also practiced as a Senior Paediatric research nurse within the Greater London area. This includes setting up and managing several research studies across a variety of Trusts settings. My work encompasses commercial clinical trials for a variety of paediatric chronic conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Fabry disease.
I have developed and publish several pieces of work around paediatrics – such as emancipatory strategies to ensure active participation of children in research and clinical issues affecting them. My master thesis is on the exploration of children’s experiences of self-management in the context of IBD. My areas of interest include: emancipatory research methods, visual techniques with children, gastrointestinal nursing, clinical research nursing and Lego Serious Play as a research method.
