About me
I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology in 1996 and went on to complete a PhD on the neuropsychology of dementia in 2003. I spent the next eight years researching ways to improve the recognition and management of dementia in primary care, before starting work in emergency care research at UWE in 2011.
