Biography

In 2014 I graduated from the University of Salford gaining a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, I then went on to complete an MSc in Health Psychology at the University of Westminster in 2015. I completed my PhD in 2019, my thesis was a qualitative study which explored how older adults self-manage distress. I am now a post-doctoral researcher working at Keele Medical School and I am also studying for a PG Certificate in Teaching in Higher Education.

I work on an NIHR funded body of research which is investigating the use of video in observation based assessments. I was also awarded a small grant from ASME to lead a study exploring patients’ perceptions of medical students’ communication skills. Overall, my research interests include: assessment, patient involvement and qualitative methodology.
