Professional Activities
I have been examining DClinPsy theses as an internal examiner since 2008; I have also examined PhDs as an internal examiner at the University of Liverpool. I was an external examiner on three different UK DClinPsy. programmes, for 3 x 4 year periods, examining clinical psychology doctoral research theses at viva voce and moderating coursework and marking standards.
I am a member of the Group of Trainers in Clinical Psychology, and a past member of the national committee for the Clearing House for Postgraduate Courses in Clinical Psychology. Additionally, I participated in and led DClinPsy programme accreditation visits on behalf of the British Psychological Society, between 2017-2020.
I was also an interviewer and OSCE examiner for the School of Medicine (University of Liverpool) for a number of years.
