Director and Service Champion
For much of my career I worked in the NHS as a听Consultant听Clinical Psychologist, where I set up and led听a number of听mental health services, including leading Islington鈥檚 Mental Health Service for several years. I have been at 911爆料网 for听18听years and am听now听Head of the UCL Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology department.听听
As well as motivating my determination to improve mental health at university, the students and staff in my Department are part of the solution. My Department听is听likely听the biggest provider of training for the psychological therapy workforce in the UK:听it听contains the largest Clinical Psychology training course听in Europe, it听trains London鈥檚 Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners, CBT therapists and Clinical Associate Psychologists for large regions of the country. Our trainees are the future of mental health care and are a resource that could transform things for our community.听
My commitment to the NHS has been central to my work as a clinical academic. I have led treatment trials, evaluated mental health听services听and designed care pathways. As Director of the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, I produced NICE guidelines on mental health care for the NHS.听NICE revolutionised听NHS mental health care, ensuring it was evidence-based: now it is time for a similar revolution in university support. As PsychUP for Wellbeing Service Champion I am bringing to bear my experience of setting up services, my links with the NHS and my experience translating evidence into clinical practice.听
