Biography

I graduated from the University of Manchester in 2015 with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and followed this with an MPhil in Primary Care Mental Health, also from Manchester. In January, 2017 I was awarded a doctoral training partnership by the Medical Research Council for a PhD in Mental Health, which commenced September, 2017 with the Centre for Primary Care and Health Services Research at the University of Manchester. 

My research across my MPhil and within my PhD work focuses on the diagnosis of dementia within ethnic minority groups, particularly British South Asians, and improving their access to memory clinics. This comprises DOME Project: Dementia in Ethnic Minorities.  

Alongside my studies I am a Research Associate with the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration for Greater Manchester, under their Mental Health theme, based at the university's Division of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work.

I am also an Honorary Lead Research Assistant at the Salford Royal Department of Clinical Neuropsychology on the IMAN Project: Improving Minorities Access to Neuropsychological services.
