Overview

I am working on an interdisciplinary PhD project based at the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work as well as at the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. The aim of the project is to explore how people with lung cancer use Web-based health information prior to diagnosis to appraise their symptoms, and whether this influences their decision to present to health services. I also work as a Teaching Assistant at the School of Psychological Sciences, and have taught on various courses including Statistics, Social Psychology and Health Psychology. Furthermore, I work as a Project Assistant at the Manchester Urban Collaboration on Health, Institute of Population Health.
