- Profile
-
I studied medicine at the University of Leeds, graduating in 2010. After completing foundation training in Leeds and Dewsbury, I worked in Christchurch, New Zealand for 18 months working in obstetrics and gynaecology. I completed my GP training in Harrogate in 2014 before moving to my home town of ºù«Ӱҵ.
My particular area of interest is around addressing inequalities in sexual and reproductive health provision in primary care. In 2014, I started working at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ and was awarded an NIHR In-Practice Training Fellowship in 2016. I completed my MD in 2022 exploring inequalities in sexual and reproductive health in general practice.
I started my NIHR CL post in April 2023 and have focused on various areas of sexual and reproductive health including contraception access and experience of under-represented populations, menopause care and HIV in primary care. I also have a special interest in primary care research around endometriosis and PCOS.
