Dr Kathy Vogt

Profile

I am a psychologist, with a background in health and clinical psychology. Currently, I am leading work on psychological safety in inpatient mental health settings, which is a collaboration between Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Leeds. To date, literature on psychological safety in mental health services has been focused on healthcare staff, rather than patients. As a result, we are conducting a programme of work, investigating what psychological safety in inpatient mental health services is perceived as from the service user and staff perspective, via interviews, and a diary study.

Until August 2022, I was the Senior Research Fellow on the Reboot [Recovery-boosting] intervention for Critical Care Nurses, and remain heavily invested in the topic of nurse wellbeing. I am the Senior Research Fellow on the Reboot [Recovery-boosting] study for critical care nurses at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, alongside my honorary appointment at the University of Leeds. 

I have a strong background in Health Psychology and mixed-methods research, having previously been a Lecturer in Health Psychology at the University of Huddersfield and a Researcher at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals/Leeds Beckett University.
