Profile

I work as a Senior Research Fellow in the Information Resources Group, HEDS, which I joined in May 2008 as an Information Specialist.

I work part-time, working four days a week and balancing research and teaching with leadership activities including the SCHARR Athena SWAN self-assessment team co-chair role. 

I joined ScHARR in October 2006 as a Research Associate on the Evaluation of Supplementary Prescribing in Nursing and Pharmacy project, based in the Public Health section. Before this, I worked as a Research Assistant in the School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of 91Ö±²¥.

Research interests

My interests lie primarily in undertaking evidence reviews of complex interventions, specifically in service delivery areas and in the identification of evidence for reviews. I have led various reviews for organisations including the HS&DR Evidence Synthesis Centre, the What Works Centre for Wellbeing and the SCHARR Public Health Collaborating Centre and have been involved in several publications from this work. I have also published on methods relating to searching. 

From my prior research projects, I maintain an interest in health services research, particularly in information used by patients and carers. I obtained my PhD in 2005 from the University Of 91Ö±²¥. It examined the impact of the MMR vaccine scare on parents in terms of their decision-making and information requirements.
