Lisa is a Clinical Lecturer in Liaison Psychiatry, an Honorary Specialist Registrar at the Maudsley Hospital and holds an NIH training fellowship. She works within the Division of Psychological Medicine at the Institute of Psychiatry and has an honorary contract with the Health Protection Agency.
Lisa began training as a psychiatrist in 1999 and for the past 5 years has been working in psychiatric research whilst continuing her psychiatric training. Initially she was involved mainly in neurobiological research, but for the past 2 and 1/2 years Lisa has been working as a Clinical Lecturer in Simon Wessely's department at the IOP and has been using a more epidemiological approach in her research.
Lisa completed a Masters degree in Public Health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in 2006, which gave her a grounding in environmental epidemiology as well as more general research methods. Based part time within the Health Protection Agency, she is using routine data collected by the Health Protection Agency as the basis for a PhD project.
Her research interests include medically unexplained symptoms, environmental epidemiology and disaster psychiatry. Clinically Lisa's interests lie within Liaison Psychiatry.
