Researcher profile: Career and collaboration in context
Dr Helen Bould is an Associate Professor in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Bristol, who uses epidemiology and experimental psychology - as well as more recently qualitative work - to improve our understanding of the causes of eating disorders, and thus to develop better prevention and treatment options. In 2014 Helen was awarded a Clinical Primer from Elizabeth Blackwell Institute, a scheme aimed at giving early career clinicians the opportunity to try research. We caught up with Helen ten years later to see how having this opportunity and support early-on impacted her career.
