As a Senior Researcher for the National Collaborating Centre for Drug Prevention (NCCDP), I am involved in examining the evidence and assessing the effectiveness of drug prevention initiatives and interventions for young people. My recent work has involved the production of systematic reviews to support the development of public health intervention guidance by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.

Before joining NCCDP I was involved in undertaking systematic reviews on a broad range of topics. First as a Research Fellow at the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination at the University of York for three years, and then at the University of Sheffield as part of the Review Body for Interventional Procedures (ReBIP), which undertook reviews for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.
