- Profile
-
I joined the Section of Public Health in ScHARR in February 2008 and am a Professor of Public Health. Alongside my academic role, I am the Regional Deputy Director for Health Protection with UKHSA Yorkshire and the Humber. I am also the editor-in-chief of Public Health, a journal of the Royal Society for Public Health. I was previously a founding co-editor-in-chief of the journal Public Health in Practice.
I qualified in medicine from the University of Edinburgh. Following paediatric and tropical medicine training, I then worked overseas running primary health care and tuberculosis control programmes in Afghanistan, and as a humanitarian aid worker in various disaster zones.
I am dual trained in general practice and public health in the UK and have previously worked as a Public Health Consultant in Nottingham City, as a director of primary care and population health with the NHS, and as a Consultant in Communicable Disease Control with the Health Protection Agency, Public Health England and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). I was previously a Senior Consultant in Global Health with the UKHSA International Health Regulations (IHR) Strengthening Project.

- Teaching interests

I am keen on teaching and especially on global health issues, humanitarian aid, health service management and communicable disease control. I currently lecture on international health needs assessment, disaster planning and impact evaluation in the Masters Public Health (MPH) course.
I developed the modules Communicable Disease Control, and Disaster and Emergency Management.
In addition, I teach on the undergraduate medical programme, and on the Executive MBA programme at City College, Thessaloniki, Greece.
I have worked as a trainer on orientation courses for relief workers, and delivered training to healthcare workers abroad as well as to health professionals in the UK. I have also delivered senior leadership training abroad with UKHSA’s IHR Strengthening Project.
