Profile

I joined the Academic Unit of Primary Care at the University of Leeds as a Clinical Teaching Fellow in 2017. I principally teach Primary Care in years 3 and 4. My main academic interests are in medical education, social justice and medicine and health inequalities.

I work as a General Practitioner and Trainer at a practice in central Bradford where my main clinical work is caring for those experiencing homelessness, asylum seekers and refugees and women involved in prostitution. I am the clinical lead of the Bradford Street Medicine Team, which takes healthcare out to homeless people where they are in the city. I also work for Freedom From Torture writing medico-legal reports for victims of torture.
