This follows on from his ongoing research into stress among UK MPs (see video above), which he has carried out alongside studies into employee well-being in a range of public sector job roles, including social and voluntary services, higher education and the National Health Service.

Ashley gained his PhD from the University of Manchester on Sources of Stress in the NHS, following on from an MSc in Occupational Psychology from which he published the first study of stress among national politicians.
