Dr Alice Wickersham

I love big data linkages, but it's not always plain sailing! Finding discrepancies in #ethnicity data between #education and #mentalhealth records led me on an unexpected but intriguing side-mission. Presenting…my final PhD paper! 🔖#OpenAccess: doi.org/10.1136/bmjope… (1/6)

In this #OpenAccess Technology Matters paper, @AliceWickersham et al. provide an overview of the @camhsdlab, a service in London which integrates operational, clinical and research expertise to support digital discovery & translate research into practice. bit.ly/46cSWsP

The CAMHS Digital Lab @camhsdlab (funded by @NIHRresearch) is helping to transform child #mentalhealth care systems - their novel service model embeds research and innovation into CAMHS, improving the effectiveness of clinical care. maudsleybrc.nihr.ac.uk/posts/2025/jun…

Huge congratulations to @AliceWickersham for her Commendation in the ADR UK Research Excellence category! 👏 This was in recognition of her research using linked @educationgovuk and @MoJGovUK datasets to look at young people's mental health and educational trajectories.

Great to attend the @UKRI_News conference yesterday, where we presented our work on the automated coding of expressed emotion in @ERiskstudy for @The_MRC. Dr. Johnny Downs spoke, & Zoë Firth presented our poster - which won the poster prize for 'best scientific content'! 🎉🏆

Well done to @AsilaySeker - one of my many talented colleagues at the @camhsdlab!! Chuffed to bits for you! 🎆

@EikoFried Having said no references....I haven't read this in full so can't vouch for it, but looks like it raises some interesting points: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11642354

@EikoFried Also overlooks the possibility of two seemingly contradictory emotions co-existing - can you be happy and sad at the same time? In particular circumstances, probably.

Hi folks! I'm looking for information (or strong opinions) on unipolar vs bipolar psychometric items. E.g. asking in one item 'sad --- happy' vs having 2 items, 'not sad --- sad' and 'not happy --- happy'. Can be for affect, personality, symptoms, etc. Thanks!

@DrKimMKendall @rcpsych @MHRIncubator @DavidMongan3 Congratulations both!!!

Congratulations to Dr @AliceWickersham whose PhD paper, supported by @NIHRMaudsleyBRC, has been commended by SIPS @improvingpsych, for involving a Young Person's Mental Health Advisory Group in the statistical modelling process. Read more @camhsdlab buff.ly/47pUeiy

OK discussion just clinches it, which is what I feel too. But if you voted methods/results I need to hear why, imo that's the most exciting bit to write!!

The CAMHS Digital Lab is back from the summer...and we have news! Our Academic Lead @AliceWickersham is on a roll, as her paper on the association between depression & school performance won a 2024 Commendation award from @improvingpsych. Read more here! camhsdlab.co.uk/news/lab-paper…
