After completing an undergraduate degree in Biology, Hannah moved to Birmingham to study for her PhD in Respiratory Physiology.

She then worked for the National Poisons Information Service, advising doctors and nurses about the management of poisonings and overdoses. Following this, she undertook some research in Primary Care at Birmingham University, looking at the Primary Graduate Mental Health Workers before becoming a lecturer in Physiology, Pathophysiology and Therapeutics at Staffordshire University.

More recently, she has worked as a lecturer in Health and Social Care and as a note summariser in primary care.

Outside of work, Hannah is a mum to three children and married to a psychiatrist.

 

Qualifications

BSc (Hons) Biological Sciences, Imperial College, University of London   
Associate of the Royal College of Science    
PhD School of Sport and Exercise Science, University of Birmingham

 

Teaching

I am module leader on MSPA4001 Clinical Science and Pharmacology and MSPA4010, the Dissertation module.

I love teaching physiology, especially whole systems physiology, pathophysiology and the biology of disease.

Research

My previous research interests have been on looking at the effects of hypocapnia on the central respiratory rhythm and how this can be measured using heart rate variability (RSA)

I have also published work on Methanol toxicity and Primary Graduate Mental Health Worker training and the implementation of that role
