Personal Statement
Reader and Co-Director, Centre for Health Policy
I Joined Strathclyde in 2011 and since 2014 I have Co-Directed The Centre for Health Policy, which connects academics across the university to develop world class research and knowledge exchange initiatives. As part of this I helped to established the Centre for Doctoral Training, with NHS and international partners.
My expertise is in the field of public mental health.
I lead funded projects in Scotland plus transatlantic collaborations with New York University, Illinois Institute of Technology and Yale Medical School.
I am joint Editor-in-Chief of the 'Journal of Public Mental Health'. I am also an Editorial Board member of 'Mental Health and Prevention' and I co-Edited the book 'Public Mental Health: Global Perspectives'.
My academic role is part-time (one day per week) and my primary role is as Director of The Mental Health Foundation for Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Foundation are the UK's leading charity for research, policy and social interventions and we collaborate extensively with governments and national and international universities.
