Background
Jane has a background in Health Psychology and graduated from the University of Leeds with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology in 2008 and an MSc in Psychological Approaches to Health in 2009. Jane completed her PhD entitled, ‘Affective and cognitive influences on decision making in healthcare’ at the University of Leeds in 2013. During her PhD she employed a mixed methods approach to identify the sources and types of emotion that feature in emergency care diagnosis and case management decisions and explored how emotion impacts clinical judgement. Jane is exploring ways to extend and apply her research findings with the aim of developing strategies to assist in improving diagnostic and case management performance across a range of clinical contexts and settings.
She is currently involved in a number of studies in primary care where she is working with primary care stakeholders to identify interventions which may help patients assist in diagnosing cancer earlier in primary care and in work which is exploring the role of emotion and cognition in diagnostic decisions made by GPs.
