About me
Claire Wilson is a 2023–24 UK Harkness Fellow in Health Care Policy and Practice.
She is an NIHR academic clinical lecturer and psychiatry specialist registrar in the Section of Women’s Mental Health at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
Her clinical practice is in a perinatal service supporting women in the community of South East London. Her clinical work and research focus on the intergenerational transmission of risk for mental health and disease and opportunities for intervention to prevent adverse developmental trajectories. She has a particular interest in the preconception and perinatal periods and uses a range of methodologies to translate her work from the level of the bench or the database, to the bedside, policymakers and the public. She is also a keen educator and the academic secretary for the Women and Mental Health Special Interest Group of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
She earned her Ph.D. in epidemiological psychiatry at King’s College London and her medical degree from the University of Glasgow.
