A Postgraduate MA Student in Literary Linguistics & Health Communication studies at Nottingham University, I am a retired NHS GP with a special interest in mental health, previously a Clinical Translation Fellow with West Leicestershire CCG.

A former NHS GP, mental health specialist and local government councillor, I have worked as a boundary spanner on several projects bringing evidence into practice.

These include:-

Introducing Mental Health Facilitators into primary care to support the management of people with stable psychosis and other non-IAPT conditions.

Supporting the Leicester University ‘Silver Book’ team to disseminate the British Geriatric Society’s Acute Guideline for the Elderly

Introducing a multidisciplinary approach to the management of benzodiazepine addiction in primary care

I am currently working on Leicestershire’s Wellbeing Radio project which will disseminate Public Health messages via community radio to Health and Social Care waiting areas.

I have a longstanding interest in cognitive linguistics and the language of persuasion. I am undertaking an MA in Literary Linguistics at Nottingham University with modules on Health Communication. This course is being used to inform my current translation project.

I am a reviewer for the British Journal of General Practice.
