- Partnerships, engagement and impact
Michaela has worked in partnership with numerous statutory and third sector organisations to generate and mobilise research evidence for real-world impact. Recent partnerships include:
Manchester Women鈥檚 Aid (MWA)
Michaela has collaborated with MWA for many years on a series of projects but mostly with the IRIS service which aims to connect primary care to domestic violence and abuse (DVA) specialist support. The work has focused on finding ways to enhance practitioner understanding of DVA and improve access to specialist support for patients. The work has involved close engagement with the IRIS team at MWA as well as with the national IRIS programme team. In other projects, Michaela and MWA have collaborated to improve awareness of older people鈥檚 experiences of DVA across communities in Manchester as well as within the health and social care workforce. This work included facilitated workshops, the production of policy and research briefings, and creative student projects resulting in public campaigns across Greater Manchester.
White Rose Collaborative Network
Michaela co-led a collaborative network to deliver an interdisciplinary project consisting of 14 academics, from early career researchers to established professors, from the universities of 91直播, York and Leeds. The focus was upon domestic abuse and marginalised communities and culminated in a series of workshops on two themes: methodological challenges and working with interpreters. Michaela led the delivery of 6 workshops (n=65) involving researchers, people with lived experience and practitioners from health, social care, DVA and criminal justice. This workstream resulted in the production of a for researchers and practitioner-academics.
