Profile: I have a BA in Sociology and a DPhil in Health Studies (Conversation Analysis of Frequent Attenders in General Practice) from the University of York. I have a PgCert in Learning and Teaching and am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Previously, I worked in the NHS coordinating a Research Network for Older People´s Mental Health and came to ScHARR from the Bradford Dementia Group (University of Bradford) in January 2009.

Whilst I am based in the Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology group in Health Services Research and CATCH (Centre for Assistive Technology and Connected Health) I work across all sections within ScHARR and many other University departments. I also collaborate extensively, nationally and internationally.

I am an applied health services innovator, researcher and evaluator with an interest in complexity science, collaborative innovation, evaluation, sustainability and spread. I provide leadership for interdisciplinary/inter-organisational teams and use a wide range of methods to produce and mobilise knowledge for improving health, wealth and wellbeing.

As a member of the core team for the NIHR CLAHRC-South Yorkshire, I was the Principal Evaluator and went on to lead the evaluation of new technologies in the combined Yorkshire and Humber CLAHRC. Until recently, I managed a large multi-disciplinary team providing evaluation consultancy work for health and social care providers, commissioners and third sector organisations. I continue to be active in consultancy and knowledge translation work, although currently I am focusing on longer-term, self-directed programmes.

I have a diverse ongoing programme of research, development, evaluation, service redesign and policy influence, including the use of technology in healthcare delivery. I am currently working with The Health Foundation, to explore ways to improve interdisciplinary relationships and methodologies for the evaluation of Quality Improvement projects. I am also working on health technology innovations in community palliative care and stroke rehabilitation.

I am an active member of the ScHARR Research Ethics Committee and the Athena Swan Self-Assessment Team.

I have a wide range of teaching interests and welcome enquiries from prospective PhD students in my areas of interest and expertise.
