I graduated from UCG in 2001 with a medical degree and subsequently completed the Western Training Programme in General Practice in 2007. Since then I have enjoyed combining clinical GP work with academic work in the Department of General Practice at NUIG.  I first joined the department in 2007 as Lecturer in Clinical Methods. During my year as lecturer I completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Teaching. Having subsequently lived in Cork for a year, where I worked as a GP, I rejoined the department as a Clinical Researcher in May 2010. I live in Galway with my husband and two children.

Research Interests

I am currently enrolled in an MD programme with the department. My area of research is Cardiovascular Multimorbidity in Primary Care. I am working under the supervision of Dr Liam Glynn.

Current work

Project Leader for the Clarity Study, a cross-sectional study of cardiovascular multimorbidity in primary care.
