Dr Shivani Sharma is Head of the Department of Psychology, Sport, and Geography at the University of Hertfordshire. She is an advocate for making health and psychological care accessible and equitable for all, mitigating disadvantages arising from factors such as ethnicity, economic means, gender, disability, or language.
