Dr Gillian Colville

Gillian's main research interest is on the psychological impact of intensive care admission. She is currently working as a co-investigator on a NIH funded longitudinal project investigating the psychological impact of a child’s admission to PICU on families recruited from 31 units in the USA.

She has published on the associations between different coping strategies and the prevalence of work-related distress in staff on adult and paediatric ICUs and completed a PhD by Publication at Goldsmiths, University of London. In addition, she has completed projects investigating children’s memories of PICU; evaluating the impact of a follow-up clinic on parental distress; examining the prevalence of post-traumatic stress and burnout in ICU staff.

Gillian has recently retired as Head of the Paediatric Psychology Service at St George’s Hospital in London, after over 30 years of service in the NHS.
