Trosolwyg

Gwyddonydd clinigol ydw i. Fy mhrif ddiddordebau yw anhwylderau niwroddatblygiadol/niwroymwahanu ac iselder ieuenctid. Roeddwn yn  Brif Olygydd (ar y Cyd) y 6ed Argraffiad o Seiciatreg Plant a Phobl Ifanc Rutter - y gwerslyfr arweiniol ar gyfer clinigwyr a gwyddonwyr ac rwy'n brif olygydd (ar y Cyd) ar gyfer y 7fed rhifyn sydd i ddod.

Rwy'n bennaeth yr Adran Seiciatreg Plant a'r Glasoed academaidd yn yr Is-adran Meddygaeth Seicolegol a Niwrowyddorau Clinigol a'r grŵp  anhwylderau datblygiadol yn y Ganolfan Geneteg Niwroseiciatrig a Genomeg ac Is-adran. Mae gen  i gontractau ymgynghorol anrhydeddus y GIG hefyd gyda BIP Cwm Taf a Chaerdydd a'r Fro. 

Mae fy rolau ehangach yn cynnwys:

Addysgu/hyfforddi myfyrwyr meddygol a seicoleg/biofeddygol a chlinigwyr dan hyfforddiant y GIG

Cyswllt y GIG

Cyfieithu ein hymchwil i bolisïau iechyd meddwl a niwrowahaniaethu: Ar hyn o bryd  rwy'n gyd-gadeirydd ar Grŵp Cynghori Gweinidogol Niwroamrywiol Llywodraeth Cymru ac ar grŵp cynghori clinigol Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer asesu a chefnogi ADHD. Cyn hynny, roeddwn ar grŵp cyfeirio arbenigol Together for Children and Young (iechyd meddwl ac ND)

 

Rwyf hefyd ar fwrdd elusen genedlaethol y DU, sef yr elusen ADHD Foundation Neurodiversity Charity ac yn aelod o Grŵp Llywio Niwroymgyfeirio Cymhlethdod Cymhlethdod  y DU .

  • Effeithiau ysgolion ar iechyd meddwl mewn pobl ifanc niwroamrywiol
  •   ADHD mewn menywod ifanc (NIHR uwch gymrodoriaeth J Martin), ADHD a chysylltiadau ag iselder (MRC L Riglin)
  • Carfan C-Gull, Liveropool (cyd-ymgeisydd ar gyfer is-astudiaeth sy'n cynnwys iechyd meddwl)
