My undergraduate and Masters degrees were in Applied Psychology. I have a PhD in Mental Health from the University of London. I joined LSHTM in 2006.
Affiliation
Teaching
I co-organise the Principles of Social Research module and teach on the Drug, Alcohol, Tobacco and Public Health module, and am a tutor on the MSc in Public Health.
Research
My research interests include the assessment of service provision for individuals with mental health problems, the evaluation of treatment effectiveness, and the roles of health professionals in service development, organisation and delivery. I use both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Since joining LSHTM I have been involved in a study evaluating the modernisation of adult critical care services in England and, more recently, an evaluation of an intervention designed to reduce tap water scalding. I am currently working on an evaluation of Community Foundation Trusts pilots.
