Biography
I joined the Health Services Research section in 2000 after working in the Operational Research unit of ScHARR for 4 years. Since joining the unit I have worked on Department of Health commissioned work such as the evaluation of NHS Direct, the evaluation of Advanced Access in primary care and research examining the scale of, and reasons for, removal of patients from GP´s lists.
I have also recently completed a number of projects in Emergency Care, working as project manager for the evaluation of the National Infarct Angioplasty Project Pilots (NIAPP) and on a trial for interventions for acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (3CPO study).
In 2011 I was awarded a NIHR doctoral research fellowship to look at improving pain management in Emergency Departments.
Research interests
My research interests are different health care systems, patient perspectives of new services and the use of mixed methods in research.
