In three words or phrases: I believe that the individual and the team are key to success. I therefore value a student-centred approach. From experience, I know that the best results and enjoyment are best achieved through a team led problem solving approach.

Progression Monitoring and Management
Again, the nature of the novel and clinical techniques involved mean that data collection will be a working partnership between student and the supervisory team. Thus, progression, monitoring and troubleshooting will take an informal approach. With more formal meeting taking place less frequently (weekly / monthly) and focus on what we can do to better support you for your future career pathway.
Communication
Communication will take place in an informal and in person capacity given the points above. Yet this will be supported via email and of course be adapted to match the communication preferences of the PhD student.
Meetings
PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me at least once per fortnight. These meetings will be a mixture of face-to-face and via video chat or telephone. I am usually contactable for an instant response on every working day.
Work Patterns
Certain tasks in my lab need to occur at set times, and students need to be able to commit to a rota/timetable shared with other members of the team.
Notice Period for Feedback
I need at least 2 weeks' notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5,000 words.
