Mental health, health data science
Sammi is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working on the HSMA programme training health, social care and policing staff to use data science techniques in their organisation.
Sammi’s previous role was as a Senior Data Scientist at Devon Partnership Trust working with PenCHORD to identify opportunities for the application of data science and operational research to improve urgent and inpatient mental health care. Her interests extend to the wider mental health system, with a particular interest in neurodiversity. Whilst in this role, Sammi developed dashboards to better highlight opportunities for improvement across the urgent mental healthcare pathway and look at patient flow. She developed custom visuals for complex information and working with NHS staff to find ways to make the data we can provide more useful to them.
Prior to joining PenCHORD, Sammi completed an MSc in Health Data Science at the University of Exeter.
