Sami Padley

I am a PhD Health Research student within the CHICAS group and Spectrum Centre for Mental Health Research. My PhD is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, as part of the North West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership.

My PhD research project uses mixed methods to investigate intersectional barriers to Eating Disorder Services in the North-West for people who are both Autistic and LGBTQIA+. My supervisors are Dr Anastasia Ushakova, Dr Laura Goodwin and Prof. Fiona Lobban.
