Research Overview

I am a Health Research PhD student within the Spectrum Centre for Mental Health Research and the Centre for Health Informatics, Computing, and Statistics (CHICAS) group at Lancaster University. My PhD is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, as part of the North West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership.

My PhD project investigates healthcare use, interventions, and longer-term outcomes for people with co-occurring bipolar and alcohol use disorder, using local and national routinely collected healthcare data. My project is supervised by Dr Laura Goodwin, Dr Anastasia Ushakova, and Prof. Steven Jones.
