About

I am currently leading an independent evaluation of mental health services in the UK, focused on how care is actually experienced in practice — not just how it is designed on paper. My background is as a former Registered Mental Health Nurse (RNMS/RMN) alongside other roles working closely with clinicians, psychiatrists, and multidisciplinary teams. This work combines frontline clinical experience with system-level analysis to better understand where services are working, where they are under pressure, and where gaps are leaving people without the support they need. I am currently synthesising insights from over 730 contributors, including NHS staff, service users, and carers, to build a clear, evidence-based picture of current system performance. The objective is simple: to provide an honest, data-driven assessment that can contribute to meaningful, real-world improvement in mental health service delivery.
