Senior Research Fellow
Gregg Rawlings joined the Academic Unit of Elderly Care and Rehabilitation in September as a Senior Research Fellow. Gregg has just completed a PhD in Clinical Neuroscience at The University of Sheffield where he was investigating the subjective experience of living with epileptic seizures and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures using qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Prior to this, he was completing a BSc and MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology at Newcastle University.
Gregg has experience of working with individuals who experience mental health difficulties within the NHS and charitable organisations. Gregg will be working on several projects within the unit providing input in the development of interventions to promote behaviour change.
