I presently serve on a number of Clinical Research Steering Groups as a PPI (Public Patient Involvement) member including being on the NIHR (National Institute of Health Research) Academy, the James Lind Alliance, Katies Team, UCL Co-Pro, and many more. I give an invaluable contribution to developing medical tools, gadgets, and Apps. I also understand the need for strategic changes in policy and regulations to make reasonable changes to deliver a better health service which I thoroughly enjoy and learn from.
With over 11 years of PPI experience, I am very confident in voicing my opinions (with diplomacy) and the opinions of the BAME community. I recently (July 2022) spoke at the GLOW (Global Women’s Health Research) Conference at Birmingham University amongst leading doctors and professors.
