She enjoys unpicking the close interplay between an individual’s health, their work and the environment, and has a particular interest in occupational asthma and other airways diseases and in the aetiology of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. She was previously a member of the British Thoracic Society Specialist Advisory Group on Occupational and Environmental Medicine and is an active member of GORDS UK (Group of Occupational Respiratory Disease Specialists).
