I am a senior teaching fellow and a senior Lecturer in the Faculty of health, social care and education at Middlesex University. My teaching and research interests focus on best practice relating to improving physical health outcomes in SMI, appropriate and safe use of psychopharmacological agents and mental health recovery approaches. I have worked in various NHS settings including General practice, secondary and primary care services. I am a specialist clinical advisor to the CQC, a role in which I support the CQC to undertake community and hospital inspections for mental health providers. I am an editorial board member for the British Journal of Mental Health Nursing and external examiner at Bournemouth University on a range of CPD modules.
