Profile

For enquiries please contact - ClinMed-Operational@sheffield.ac.uk

I joined the University of Sheffield in 2018 after obtaining a Yorkshire Cancer Research (YCR) ‘CONNECTS’ Senior Clinical Research Fellowship. I am also an Honorary Consultant in Palliative Medicine at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

I was awarded my Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree from the University of Liverpool in 2010. My MD evaluated quality of care for dying patients and their families (last days of life) as perceived by bereaved relatives. From this work, I have developed, validated and used my international ‘Care Of the Dying Evaluation’ (CODE^TM) tool.

My belief that palliative care should help address injustices and inequities drives my research interests. These include complex cancer groups e.g., head and neck cancer, mesothelioma, and improving access and integration of palliative care, including bereavement support, through inclusive methodology.

Qualifications

MBChB, University of Glasgow
Doctor of Medicine (MD), University of Liverpool
FRCPS (Glasgow)
Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in Palliative Medicine 2008

Research interests

Palliative and end-of-life care
Complex cancer groups: Head and neck cancer; mesothelioma
Health service design and integration of care
Evaluation of quality of care at the very end-of-life
Validation and use of outcome measures, including post-bereavement surveys
Family and informal carer support including bereavement.

I have expertise in mixed methods research and using collaborative, inclusive approaches to capture patient and family experiences. Within the University of Sheffield, I am the co-lead for Theme 5 of the Cancer Strategy, ‘Enhancing Patient Experience and Voice.’

I am the co-lead for the NIHR-funded ‘Palliative Partners – Head and Neck Cancer’ (PP-HANC) and the NIHR RfPB study, ‘Improving healthcare experiences for patients with Head and Neck Cancer’ (ii-HANC). I was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2020.

Currently, I am the co-lead for the NIHR-funded PRP study, ‘Equitable bereavement care for all.’
