I have a PhD in Exercise and Health Psychology from Loughborough University and specialise in cultural and behavioural changes - making Q-active the perfect programme for me to sink my teeth into.
I manage all aspects of the programme, from having the ideas (with the help of my team), to recruiting the staff and making it all happen. I am also a keen researcher, which is why (with Holly`s expertise) we are able to make the evaluation of Q-active so special.
On a personal note, I definitely practice what I preach and make having fun an important part of my spare time! I run with Holme Pierrepont Running Club, have completed three marathons and two adventure races (so far) and am also a purple belt kick boxer. I`m also a keen cyclist (prefer road but have been known to venture out into the mud!) and my new thing is kayaking as I`ve run past the rapids at Holme Pierrepont too many times not to conquer them!
I am thrilled to be involved with this initiative and am relishing the challenge of really making a difference for NHS staff.
