Background

I am a Clinical Research Associate on the 'Health Checks for Autistic Adults' study.  This study aims to design and evaluate a health check for use with autistic adults in NHS Primary Care.

I previously worked on the 'Focus on Early Eating, Drinking and Swallowing' (FEEDS) study from 2017-2019.  This study aimed to identify which interventions could be delivered at home by parents to improve eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties in children with neurodevelopmental difficulties and which are suitable for investigation in future research trials.

Prior to working at Newcastle University, I worked as a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist in Newcastle Gateshead Children and Young People's Service for 11 years specialising in neurodevelopmental disorders and anxiety disorders.
