Biography
I have a background in nursing, working mainly in the field of Oncology until 2003. I have a BSc (Hons) Psychology which inspired my interest in health related research. In 2003 I began working at ScHARR, and was awarded an MSc in Health Services Research in 2005.
Since then I have been involved in projects for the Department of Health, the Service Delivery Organisation programme, the Leverhulme Trust, Sheffield Health and Social Research Consortium, NIHR Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme and The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). I am currently leading review work for the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) as a member of the Public Health Collaborating Centre (PHCC).
Research Interests
My research interests include the organisation of health care delivery. In particular, I have been involved in qualitative evaluations of health care from the patient and provider perspective. I have a particular interest in the prevention and self-management of obesity and chronic illness.
More recently I have been involved in synthesising evidence for public health guidance for NICE. In this role I am interested in the development of methods which involve identifying and assessing of a variety of study types in order to provide reviews of evidence that address current public health issues.
Teaching Interests
I am involved in teaching research design and critical appraisal for the MBChB undergraduate course, as well as research methods for the Masters in Public Health. I supervise MSc student dissertations and am also a member of two PhD advisory panels.
Professional Activities
Member of UK Public Health Association (UKPHA)
Current Projects
I am currently lead reviewer on a series of programmes for the NICE Public Health Collaborating Centre.
