I undertook my undergraduate medical training at the University of Sheffield and completed my training as GP Academic Clinical Fellow at King’s College London, in the department of population health sciences. I am interested in research that can be applied to clinical practice in primary care to improve the quality and appropriateness of prescribing, and to make our delivery of healthcare environmentally sustainable.

I joined the Clinical Effectiveness Group in 2022 as a Clinical Lead, helping to deliver a programme to improve the health outcomes for patients with Severe Mental Illness. With the help and support of the department, I applied for and was awarded an NIHR In-Practice Fellowship.
