I joined the former School of Health and Related Â鶹ÊÓƵ in 2003 as an Information Officer for Â鶹ÊÓƵ Support, chiefly providing support to NHS Â鶹ÊÓƵers via the former Trent Institute and Trent RDSU.

My key research interests are around online learning and digital education, e-Health and m-health, teaching of health informatics and supporting public health students to develop key informatics skills.
