I joined the former School of Health and Related Research in 2003 as an Information Officer for Research Support, chiefly providing support to NHS Researchers via the former Trent Institute and Trent RDSU.
In January 2023 I became a Senior University Teacher and am currently the Lead for Digital Education for the School of Medicine and Population Health (MPH).
I teach on a variety of courses including our range of MPH programmes. My teaching covers a wide range of informatics-related topics including literature searching, health promotion, critical appraisal and e-Health.

My key research interests are around online learning and digital education, e-Health and m-health, teaching of health informatics and supporting public health students to develop key informatics skills.
