- Profile
-
I studied medicine at the University of Leeds, graduating in 2010. After completing foundation training in Leeds and Dewsbury, I worked in Christchurch, New Zealand for 18 months working in obstetrics and gynaecology. I completed my GP training in Harrogate in 2014 before moving to my home town of 91Ö±²¥.
My particular area of interest is around addressing inequalities in sexual and reproductive health provision in primary care. In 2014, I started working at the University of 91Ö±²¥ and was awarded an NIHR In-Practice Training Fellowship in 2016. I completed my MD in 2022 exploring inequalities in sexual and reproductive health in general practice.
I started my NIHR CL post in April 2023 and have focused on various areas of sexual and reproductive health including contraception access and experience of under-represented populations, menopause care and HIV in primary care. I also have a special interest in primary care research around endometriosis and PCOS.
