Tell us a little about yourself:
I joined the Alzheimer’s Society as Chief Policy and Research Officer in 2019 and I lead the charities growing and ambitious world-class research programme and portfolio, as well as our working to strengthen our position as the national charity leader on dementia health, social care policy and societal change.
Before joining Alzheimer’s Society I was the Deputy Chief Scientific Officer for NHS England, supporting the 50,000-strong healthcare science workforce in the NHS. She worked on programmes ranging from antimicrobial resistance to hearing loss.
A consultant clinical biochemist by background, I worked for two decades at Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals and King’s College Hospital in London, and at Edinburgh’s Royal Hospital for Sick Children.
