Biography
I am a clinical academic with expertise in faculty development and medical education research. I have particular interests in selection and widening access, assessment, and leadership development.
I completed my undergraduate medical training, Master's in Medical Education, and academic foundation programme at Keele University before moving to London to undertake a PhD in Medical Education at University College London (UCL). I have also recently completed a PgDip in Leadership For The Health Professions at Swansea University.
In addition to my role at UCL, I am a Lecturer in Medical Education at Keele University. At Keele my role predominantly involves postgraduate teaching on the MSc Clinical Education, and conducting and supporting medical education research.
Outside of work I am a keen long-distance runner. I train with London Frontrunners and am (very) slowly trying to run all the Abbot World Marathon Majors.

I have broad experience researching diverse topics and utilising various methods within medical education. I have particular expertise in qualitative methods and evidence synthesis.
My doctoral research explored how medical school applicants from diverse social backgrounds choose which schools to apply to. I undertook a national qualitative interview study of applicants, a systematic review of higher education institution choice, and a national review of contextual admissions.
Other areas of special interest include:
- Selection to undergraduate medicine
- Peer-teaching
- Education in general practice
- Workplace learning
- Leadership development
I am passionate about supporting and developing novice medical education researchers. I regularly run research methods workshops at national conferences and chair a national webinar series on research methods for new researchers (ASME Research Methods Series). I have been very fortunate to benefit from great mentorship in my early career, and am keen to pay this forward in supporting interested students to develop and contribute to projects.
