About

I am a senior lecturer on the Occupational Therapy programmes at the University of Derby, within the College of Health, Psychology and Social Care and the School of Allied Health and Social Care.

Teaching responsibilities

I teach various modules across the BSc, MSc pre-registration, and MSc Advanced Occupational Therapy courses. My expertise is in the areas of practice-based learning, mental health and research, therefore I mainly teach modules relating to these subjects. I came runner-up (to one of my Occupational Therapy colleagues) for Outstanding Contribution to Welfare and Liberation in 2019, which is a great honour and I was overwhelmed just to be nominated.

Research interests

I am helping the Cochrane EMBASE project by identifying reports of randomised controlled trials from EMBASE for publication in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL).
