Marie Hardy

Position: Education Vice

Who am I?

I am a Clinical Scientist and the Respiratory and Sleep Service Manager at Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals.

After completing a BSc in Exercise and Sport Science in 2004 I began my career in Respiratory physiology as a student of University of Wolverhampton at Royal Stoke University Hospital completing my BSc in Respiratory Physiology at the Royal Derby Hospital.

In 2009 I moved back to the Royal Stoke as a Senior Physiologist, where I further developed my knowledge and skills under the leadership of Dr. Ian Cliff and completed the STP equivalence process.

I took on the position of Respiratory and Sleep Lead at the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2017, where I spent 5 years growing and developing the service, before moving to my current role at MWL in 2022.

A little bit about me

I became a member of the education committee in 2017 when I took on the role as Examinations secretary, subsequently I became Vice Chair, then Chair of Examinations moving to the role as Vice Chair of Education in April this year. I am passionate about education and actively involved in the STP assessments. I also complete the End Point Assessments for Healthcare Science apprenticeships.

Locally I chair the Cheshire and Merseyside Respiratory Physiology Network and attend the ICB respiratory programme board meetings representing and promoting physiologists and our role within the ICB.

I am very driven and determined when I put my mind to something both professionally and socially, outside of work one of my greatest and toughest achievements is summiting Mount Kilimanjaro. In my spare time I enjoy watching sports and follow Crewe Alexandra FC, attending as many matches as I can.

What would you like to achieve in your new role?

I feel it is important as an organisation we remain current continuing to grow and develop education and development opportunities for our professional workforce. To achieve this, I aim to work with the committee on developing new, and improving current courses and competencies.

I will also continue to promote Respiratory Physiology and Healthcare Science not only within the NHS but also our potential new workforce in schools, colleges, and universities.
