Past Research
Dr. Charlotte Hall completed her PhD in Forensic and Cognitive Psychology at the University of Lincoln in 2011. Her PhD investigated the potential use of gaze patterns as a measure of detecting sexual preference in forensic populations. Prior to this Charlotte worked as a research assistant on a number of projects, investigating diverse topics including psycholinguistics, child development, emotion, comparative cognition and forensic mental health. Charlotte joined the University of Nottingham through the NIHR- Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) in November 2011.
During her time in CLAHRC, Charlotte was trial manager on the AQUA Trial which investigated the clinical and cost-effectiveness of the QbTest, the findings of which are being implemented in routine practice. Charlotte also lead on an NIHR CLAHRC systematic review investigating the clinical use of technology for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Charlotte then continued her work in clinical trials of digital methods under the NIHR MindTech MedTech umbrella.
Charlotte's main areas of interest include the implementation of technology to support the assessment, monitoring and treatment of mental health disorders within children and young people, particularly in neurodevelopmental disorders. Charlotte has specific expertise of the design, conduct and management of clinical trials in community child mental health services and child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and is interested in the nuances in online trail delivery.
Charlotte has a keen interest in how technology may be used to improve access to services and streamline current pathways and has experience in supporting adoption of technology in routine practice.
