I am currently Programme Manager for the Technology Assessment Reviews (TARs) Programme, which is commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the National Institute for Health Research & Health Technology Assessment (NIHR HTA).

SCHARR-TAG undertakes reviews of the clinical and cost effectiveness of health care interventions on behalf of a range of policy makers, including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

I joined SCHARR in 1997 as Publications Officer to the Working Group on Acute Purchasing (WGAP). WGAP worked with NHS Purchasers in the Trent Region to advise on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of health service interventions. Following the establishment of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), and the cessation of the Working Group on Acute Purchasing in 2000, I became a part of the SCHARR Rapid Reviews Group (SRRG), which was later renamed SCHARR Technology Assessment Group (SCHARR-TAG).

Between January and November 2024, I worked as a Research Associate on an NIHR funded project “Effectiveness of Interventions For Fatigue in Long term conditions (EIFFEL)”, which was a study to assess the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions on fatigue in long term health conditions.

Between February and September 2022, I was seconded to work as Project Manager on an EPSRC funded project “Molecular Photonic Breadboards” in the Department of Chemistry. 

Between 1 August 2018 and 31 May 2019, I worked as a Research Associate on the NIHR funded study "The design, development and commissioning of patient focused vascular services." This study sought to identify which non health attributes of service provision are important to patients and to establish the relative value society places on these attributes in relation to health outcomes.

Before moving to the University of 91ֱ�� I was employed by 91ֱ�� City Council and 91ֱ�� Health Authority. I began working at the University in 1993, as PA to the Deputy Secretary.

I have a BA(Hons) degree in Business Studies, from 91ֱ�� Hallam University, and a Master of Public Health (Health Services Research) from the University of 91ֱ��.
