BSc Honours - 1993 - Medicinal Chemistry. University of Warwick
Following the completion of my PhD.in Medicinal Chemistry in 1998 and a brief period working in health services research within the NHS, I came to the University of Manchester to complete an MA (Econ) in Applied Social Research. After completing this, I secured an NHS research training fellowship, to develop quality indicators for primary care mental health services.
After the completion of my training fellowship, I returned to the NHS as a public health researcher/senior public health advisor, followed by a move into local government, where I developed and managed a coordinated approach to youth engagement.
In 2013, I took up a position with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), to support the development of national public health and social care guidelines, aimed primarily at the NHS and local authorities (see NICE guideline publications under 'Research and Projects').
Before returning to academia, I trained as a children’s counsellor and worked as a mental health practitioner in schools.
In 2019, I returned to the University of Manchester, to work on an evidence synthesis project to identify potential factors impacting on carer's mental health during end-of-life home care. More recently, my role has involved supporting and engaging young people in the design, delivery, evaluation and implementation of mental health research through Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE).
