My friend Tricia Tyler, who has died suddenly aged 60, was a journalist and former editor of the Nursing Times who later worked as a lecturer and assessor in further education.
After a postgraduate course in publishing and production at the London College of Printing, she embarked on her journalistic career in 1988 as a feature writer at West Indian Digest, and the following year became co-editor of Caribbean Times, before moving in 1991 to Pulse, the medical magazine. In 1993 she became features editor of Nursing Times and was promoted to deputy editor in 1996 and then editor in 1998.
