Biography

I joined the NPEU in 2011 to look at maternity services for women with disability. I have been involved in a number of projects, including the neuro-development of children born prematurely and preterm birth clinics. I am particularly interested in research around maternal mental health and well-being.

I am a clinically trained neurologist with a masters in medical statistics. I previously worked as a research fellow at St George's Hospital in London. I have authored several Cochrane reviews, mainly in the field of cognitive improvement and dementia, haematology and oncology. I am a co-founder of ALOIS, an online register of dementia studies, an editor of the Cochrane Lung Cancer group, and a member of Cochrane methods and living systematic reviews network groups.
