About Stuart
Researcher in applied healthcare, with a background in applied and cognitive psychology.
My current role is Research Fellow at PenARC (NIHR Applied Research Collaboration - South West Peninsula), and I am also part of the Community & Primary Care Research Group.
I am currently involved in several research projects, predominantly within mental health and older adult healthcare. I have an interest in the relationship between the overprescribing of medication prescribed for pain and mental health conditions (e.g. opioids and antidepressants) and socio-economic inequality; and how to support individuals to safely reduce unnecessary medication. My previous research projects include problem gambling, video game loot boxes, associative learning, and spatial navigation. I remain research active within these fields.
Teaching
My position is research-focused, although I have also been involved in developing teaching materials, and delivering teaching to undergraduate and MSc students. I am also currently involved in doctoral project supervision.
