Dr Natasha Tyler is a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester with expertise in patient safety, healthcare quality and mental health. Drawing on both her research background and lived experience of vitamin B12 deficiency, she has led studies exploring the experiences of people living with B12 deficiency and pernicious anaemia, including issues around diagnosis, treatment, patient safety and self-management. She will discuss findings from this work alongside emerging research on vitamin B12 deficiency and mental health.

Kitty Fong is a Trainee Clinical Psychologist currently undertaking a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (ClinPsyD) at the University of Manchester. Her research explores the mental health experiences of adults living with pernicious anaemia (PA), with a particular focus on understanding how the condition affects people’s psychological well-being and everyday lives. Through this project, she hopes to give greater visibility to the lived experiences of people with PA and contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between physical and mental health. Her interest in this area stems from her commitment to understanding people’s experiences of living with health conditions and ensuring that their psychological needs are recognised and understood.
