About

Claire started her career as a marine microbiologist gaining her PhD from the University of Wales, Swansea in 2000.  She moved from aquatic animal health into Medicine in 2003 for the launch of the Swansea University Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) course.  She took on the role of the Schools Disability Link Tutor in 2008 and, shortly afterwards, became the lead for Student Support & Guidance for GEM.
