His work on public health and prevention has seen him developing MAC-UK policy positions on inequality, working alongside youth consultants to develop our influencing capacity around policing, and specifically stop and search, and leading on a report looking at the ways in which clinical psychology is over-reliant on individualising mental health on the doctorate courses around the country.
