Thomas Heffernan Senior Lecturer, Northumbria University, Newcastle Upon Tyne
Biography
My research aims to extend our understanding of what impact recreational drug use has upon the individual’s health, mental health and cognition in a variety of user groups and to disseminate these findings within the academic and medical fields, as well as within the wider general public. I have published in excess of 50 peer-reviewed journal articles and over 100 published abstract and conference proceedings. I have presented my work at conferences and universities around the world, and have disseminated my work widely, via the general media, drug advisory bodies and to the general public.
