Profile

I joined the University of Sheffield in 2005. I also work at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and the Chesterfield Royal Hospital as an Honorary Consultant Neurologist. My clinical work focuses on the treatment of patients with epilepsy and other seizure disorders.

I lead the Epilepsy Research Group in the Academic Neurology Unit and am the Epilepsy Research Theme Lead in the Clinical Neuroscience Directorate at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

I chair the Neurosciences Local Priority Group of the Comprehensive Local Research Network and represent South Yorkshire on the National Speciality Group for Nervous System Disorders. I completed my undergraduate medical education in Cologne, Germany, and Nottingham, UK.

I pursued my neurological training in Leeds, UK, and at the Department of Epileptology of the University of Bonn, Germany.

Research interests

My main research interests are the nature and treatment of nonepileptic attack disorder (NEAD), psychosocial and neuropsychological aspects of epilepsy.

I have helped to put together a national network of health professionals keen to develop an evidence-based treatment pathway for patients with NEAD (the NEST collaboration).

I am also very interested in doctor-patient communication and have pioneered the use of Conversation Analysis in neurological settings.
