Dr Rebecca Jones

I’m a Senior Clinical Psychologist at Sheffield Children’s. My role as the Psychologist in the Sheffield Centre of the NHS England Osteogenesis Imperfecta Service encompasses running a clinical psychology service for children and young people with OI and providing support to their families.

Research and innovation are also central to my work and the work of the wonderful multi-disciplinary team in Sheffield that I feel privileged to be part of. I enjoy working in the City of Sheffield near the Peak District National Park where I enjoy spending my free time with my family and dog!
