I am a Professor of Psychology at the University of Bath. I mostly research pain: sex/gender, cognitive impacts, communication. I help run a pain research centre, and work with clever people. I enjoy music, especially live, watch too much TV, and enjoy cooking. I have to do exercise, like running.

Many patients are still in pain 3 months after their surgery.
Certain procedures have much higher rates of chronic pain after 3 months, including orthopaedic (35%), breast (15%) & gynaecological (11%).

One of the central messages from the CRIISP Showcase in Oct: chronic pain affects far more than the body. It shapes identity, relationships, work, and daily life. Understanding these layers is vital for improving care and support.
