Besides psychology, I have a background in English Literature and academic publishing. Prior to commencing clinical training, I worked as a researcher with Prof. Charles Vincent’s Risk and Safety Research Group at the University of Oxford: I led projects on the measurement and monitoring of safety and on the quality of care transitions for the frail elderly. My clinical research areas include: suicidal depression, eating disorders, and CBT. I am interested in applying a VBP approach to patient safety and healthcare improvement research and practice, in areas including: systems thinking, patient experience, team communication, organizational change, and professional training
