About
Overview
Dr Mary Lavelle is a Senior Research Fellow in Mental Health in the School of Health Sciences at City, University of London. Her research interests are focused on how people engage in social interaction in the context of healthcare.
Mary completed her PhD at Queen Mary University, where she employed 3D motion capture techniques to investigate social deficits in psychosis. From here she moved to King’s College London and then Imperial College London, where she worked in the field of patient safety research. She has co-developed a programme of research exploring team communication in healthcare settings, examining the impact on patient and staff safety. Mary continues this programme of work at City, specifically focusing on team dynamics and safety in mental health settings.
