RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests have been varied but the key commonality has been that much of it has focused on medical education or training. My clinical research has focused on service perceptions and developments. An important part of my work is my clinical role as a child and adolescent psychiatrist which strongly influences both my educational and research interests.
