Personal profile

Overview

I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Health, with interests in Life Sciences and Community Nursing. As an undergraduate I studied Human Sciences at the University of Sussex, developing a special interest in genetics. I worked at the National Poisons Information Service for several years, before qualifying as a Registered Nurse. After qualifying, I worked as a research assistant in a project investigating drug treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
I have also worked as a Genetic Counsellor; following this I worked for many years in a GP surgery in East London, specialising in Women's Health.

Research Interests

I am currently a link lecturer for students on Community placements; this is linked to my previous experience of working in primary care. I am an External Examiner for Birkbeck College, London University.
I have had experience of working as a Research Assistant (a drug trial to investigate the use cholinesterase inhibitors to treat Alzheimer's disease) and, in 2004, won a NELCRAD (N.E. London Consortium for R & D) research bursary to carry out a small research project in the primary care setting. This was a qualitative pilot study that investigated barriers to primary care for people who do not speak English. Other related research interests include care of patients with long-term conditions, health inequalities, and women’s health.
