Biography
I am a clinical senior lecturer, Mental Health Sciences Unit (UCL), my post is supported by the Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Unit. My principle research interests are palliative and end of life care in dementia (epidemiological and health services research). Other work includes research on liaison psychiatry for older people particularly the epidemiology and outcomes for older people with dementia and delirium on acute hospital wards. This work is supported by Alzheimer’s Society.
I have worked on clinical trials of new drug therapies for delirium and more recently therapies for dementia (with the north Thames DeNDRoN network).
I trained in medicine at Birmingham University and have an MSc in Epidemiology from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
I also work as a consultant in Haringey Memory Service with Barnet Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust.
