I have always been a clinical academic, working as a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist in both inpatient and community services, and currently professor at the University of York. Previously, I was chair of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Child and Adolescent faculty, which involved wide-ranging national policy advisory work, as well as leading on the college position statement on online safety, which we are now updating. My research interests include mood disorders, the digital and natural environments and their impact on the mental health of young people. I am currently the chief investigator of the NIHR multi-site BAY trial of web-based Behavioural Activation in young people with depression; a co-investigator of a trial of Forest School (FINCH); and a co-investigator of the £7.6 million UKRI funded York Smart Data Donation Service, which is focused on addressing the significant gap in understanding the digital lives of young people through data donation.
