Personal profile
Research interests
I am a health services researcher with an interest in health service design and delivery. I apply a whole systems approach to my work and combine my expertise in operational research, social research and digital knowledge to identify optimal solutions to complex, messy problems. I am also interested in implementation and sustainability of solutions, and actively engage stakeholders in my research to ensure acceptability and long-term use.
Recent work explores the impact of COVID-19 on communities, services, and individuals’ engagement with services. I am keen understand changes in how these systems operate, and how they can be modelled and better understood to ensure public health initiatives/service provision adapt appropriately to become/remain fit for purpose, post-pandemic. My most recent funded project will conduct place-based action research, working in partnership with citizens and organisations of two disadvantaged communities to design and test an intervention to support healthy weight and wellbeing.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
