ABOUT ME

I completed my Medical Sciences undergraduate degree at Cambridge University, with an intercalated BA in Experimental Psychology, and then studied Clinical Medicine at the University of Oxford.

​

My psychiatric training was completed on the Royal Free Psychiatric Training rotation and I obtained my CCT in Old Age Psychiatry in 2013.

 

I then did a doctoral research training fellowship from the NIHR to design and test an intervention to encourage South Asian people to seek help earlier for dementia. During my PhD, I collaborated on a number of studies, continuing my interest in inequalitites related to ethnicity and expanding my research interests to include the epidemiology of dementia. I am a member of the Lancet Standing Commission on dementia prevention, intervention and care, Interdem and a member of the European Consortium on Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology

 

My current work is focused on using inter-ethnic epidemiology to find new ways of preventing and treating dementia.
