About

Overview

Nadine is a Research Fellow in the Centre for Health Services Research. She is a chartered psychologist with special interests in the self-management of chronic conditions, health related behaviour change, and intervention development. Nadine joined Professor Newman’s research group at City University London in 2012.

Nadine obtained her BSc (Hons) Psychology with Neuropsychology and later her MSc in Clinical Psychology at University of Wales, Bangor. She then went on to complete her PhD in Health Psychology at Dublin City University. Nadine’s doctoral thesis used a mixed methods approach to examine the development, effectiveness, and acceptability of integrated exercise and psychotherapeutic interventions for facilitating help-seeking and improving the mental health of young adult men.

In her position as Research Fellow at City University London Nadine continues to investigate the effectiveness of behaviour change interventions. She currently works in the areas of self-management of long-term conditions, impact of genetic risk information on health behaviour change, and assessing quality of recovery from surgery and anaesthesia.
