A GP, I have been awarded a PhD for my work 'The role of pelvic examination in diagnosing gynaecological cancer' after securing a CSO Clinical Academic Fellowship.
I am currently a Senior Clinical Lecturer in the GPCME team supporting both Y1 and Y2.
My area of interest is the earlier diagnosis of gynaecological cancers and how this can be supported by primary care in terms of examination and referral. The influence of help-seeking behaviour by patients is also key and I recently published a SR of the factors which influence patient help-seeking behaviour.
