Centre for Primary Care and Health Services Research, Oxford Road
M13 9PL Manchester
United Kingdom
I’m an NIHR Advanced Fellow at the Centre for Primary Care and Health Services Research, a practising GP and a Registered Health Psychologist. My time is split between clinical work and research. I'm also the GP Academic Programme Lead for the Integrated Clinical Academic Training (ICAT) programme at Manchester.
I studied psychology at Queens University Belfast, completed a PhD at Leeds University, and worked as a Research Fellow before studying medicine and training as a GP. I was an Academic Foundation Trainee at York, an Academic Clinical Fellow in Primary Care at Sheffield, and an Academic Clinical Lecturer and then NIHR Advanced Fellow at Manchester. During my time here, I've completed a PGDip in Digital Health Leadership and have been advising NHS England on programmes relating to patient online health records access.
I'm interested in how digital technology and psychological theory can be used to improve patients' experiences of primary care. I've examined quality assurance of mobile health apps, looked at how digital technology can help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, and explored what patients, carers and healthcare staff want from patient online health records access. My current projects include work on improving patients' and clinicians' experiences of records access and developing tools to enhance the impact of this practice.
