Overview
I am a clinician scientist by background. My primary interests are in neurodevelopmental disorders/neurodivergence, primarily ADHD, and youth mental health. I am the lead editor (joint) of Rutter’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry-the leading textbook for clinicians and scientists (6th and 7th edition).
Translation of our research into mental health and neurodivergence policies:
I am on the Welsh Government Adult ADHD Task and Finish Group and previously was co-chair on the Welsh Government Neurodivergence Ministerial Advisory Group and on the Welsh government clinical advisory group for ADHD assessment and support.
I served as Chair of the NHS England ADHD Taskforce and a member of the DfE Neurodivergence Task and Finish Group.
Previously I was on the expert reference group of Together for Children and Young People (mental health and ND)

Public engagement
We have a track record of working with the media on child and adolescent mental health, especially around ADHD.
I have worked with the Cardiff University Public engagement team (e.g. Cardiff Challenge), the UK Science Media Centre, contributed to and participated in television (a BBC Wales documentary, Breakfast TV and news items), radio (Radio 4 Today programme, national and local radio stations) on ADHD and adolescent depression.
National and international web podcasts and films on ADHD include:
ADHD Facts and Fiction (public lecture)
Last Chance Saloon (short film/documentary)
Ruane Prize winner (short film)
