Tina Patel
- PA / Research Administrator - Three Schools' Mental Health Research Programme
I provide administrative support to the NIHR Three Research Schools’ Mental Health Programme alongside my work supporting other health research at the University of Nottingham.
I have worked in higher education supporting either teaching or research since 2012 and prior to that, I worked in the public and voluntary sector for some time. In these contexts, I have seen the need for quality mental health support in communities and I have also seen the beneficial impact of timely mental health interventions on individuals, their families and the wider community.
I value the Mental Health programme’s aim to facilitate high quality mental health research that is conducted with and for the communities that will benefit from the work and I am delighted to have a chance to use my organisational and administrative skills to support the programme.
