Congratulations to our MindTech colleagues Dr Blandine French, Dr Charlotte Hall, and Professor Elvira Perez Vallejos who have recently been promoted by the University of Nottingham.

Dr Blandine French becomes a Research Fellow, with a special interest in ADHD. Blandine’s focus is on increasing awareness of ADHD and supporting families through the care pathway through her research.

Dr Charlotte Hall is now Principal Research Fellow, specialising in children and young people’s mental health. Charlotte will continue leading on the design and delivery of clinical trials evaluating digital interventions for children and young people’s mental health, and the implementation of technology in routine practice.

Finally, Dr Elvira Perez Vallejos has been appointed Professor of Digital Technology for Mental Health and Digital Technologies. Elvira is interested in the ethical challenges posed by digital interventions in mental health and brings a wealth of experience to her role.

Their promotions are well deserved and a testament to the dedication to healthcare research and the communities they work alongside.
