Prior to joining City St George’s, Natalie was the Deputy Head of the College of Life Sciences at the University of Leicester, having previously been a Head of Department. As part of her role, Natalie was also the University-appointed Non-Executive Director to the University Hospitals of Northamptonshire Group.

Natalie is Professor of Health Services Research having completed a BSc (Hons) Politics & Sociology at the University of Warwick, an MSc in Medical Sociology at Royal Holloway, University of London, and her PhD at the University of Nottingham. Following postdoctoral positions at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the University of Warwick, Natalie took up her first academic post in 2008 as Lecturer in Social Science Applied to Health at the University of Leicester. She was promoted to Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in 2014, and to Professor in 2017.

Natalie’s appointment as the inaugural Executive Dean of the School of Health & Medical Sciences at City St George’s, followed the completion of the merger between City, University of London and St George’s, University of London.
