I completed my preclinical and clinical medical degree at St Andrews’ and Manchester Universities before commencing my post-graduate neurology specialist training in Manchester. I subsequently undertook a PhD in Mitochondrial Diseases at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology before obtaining an NIHR academic clinical lecturer post in London. From March 2019 I take up a MRC Clinician Scientist Fellowship with Honorary Consultant status at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, where I co-lead  the NHS England nationally commissioned Rare Mitochondrial Disorders Service.
