About

Dr Anna Moore is Assistant Professor in Child Psychiatry and Medical Informatics in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge. Anna is also currently PI of the NIHR Applied Research Collaborative North Thames’ national evaluation of i-THRIVE, which is exploring how best to deliver whole system, integrated mental health care for children and young people through a 20-site case-control study of its’ implementation.

Anna started developing predictive models as part of her PhD, which identified which mental health patients were more likely to have a longer length of stay in emergency departments. Prior to moving to Cambridge, Anna was Director of Mental Health at UCL Partners where she developed and delivered a strategic plan to improve mental health for a population of four million by taking a system-wide approach supported by data and informatics. During this time she was an NHS Innovation Accelerator Fellow and created and led the national CAMHS transformation programme, i-THRIVE – over 70% of children in England are now cared for by i-THRIVE services.

Research

Anna’s goal is to develop personalised, preventative clinical pathways for children’s mental health. She is approaching this by harnessing broad data types, including electronic health record, genetic, deep phenotyping and other data types relating to children and young people, and making it available for research purposes in a shared data environment called CADRE (Child and Adolescent Data REsource)
