Julia gained a BA (Hons) in Social Sciences with Psychology in 2001 and prior to joining UEA in 2003, her experience included working as a Community Care Assistant in a hospital setting, and an Assistant Psychologist providing a service for adults with severe/moderate learning disabilities. Whilst in these posts Julia had the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of working within interprofessional teams, where the ultimate aim was to provide the best patient/client care.
