I began my NHS journey in 2015, completing the Scientist Training Programme in 2018 and later working as a clinical scientist in nuclear medicine for two years. During this time I met so many inspiring, good-natured and kind people, both staff and patients, and I learned about the pains and joys of interacting with clinical services.
In 2020 I joined Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust as a senior clinical scientist in artificial intelligence. It has been little short of a whirlwind since then. I’ve become experienced in niche topics, such as data anonymisation, AI evaluation and software-as-a-medical-device; and one of the most important ones: the power we hold as healthcare workers to advocate for our patients and service users, their rights, their experiences, and their wellbeing. This is how the AI Fairness Working Group came into existence.
Outside of work I enjoy music and going to gigs, oil-paint, read, garden, sew clothes from scratch and lino-print.
