Staff Profile

Mike Lyne

Senior Lecturer in mental health social work

I commenced my career as a nursing assistant before qualifying as a nurse in mental health. I worked in the NHS for 15 years before retraining as a social worker. I continue to maintain both registrations. Between my nursing and social work careers, I have worked with most client groups including older people, adults of working age, CAMHS and military families. I was an Approved Social Worker (ASW) and am currently qualified as a Best Interest Assessor under the MCA Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.

I have been involved in professional education throughout my career and at BU I have taught a range of subjects including adult safeguarding. I currently teach on the MA (Advanced Mental Health Practice) and am Programme Leader for the MCA programme which leads to BIA qualification.

I am the Post Graduate Researcher Lead for the Department of Social Science and Social Work, providing departmental support to students undertaking research degrees and their supervisors.
I am co-creator of the BU educational resource, the mental capacity toolkit. This is a living resource under continual development which can be accessed on this website.

My research interests are in all aspects of mental capacity including advance care planning and end of life issues.

In my spare time I enjoy reading and running (not at the same time).
