- Profile
-
I have been working as a Research Associate in the Health and Care Research Unit since 2017. Since then, I have been involved in a variety of projects, primarily undertaking qualitative work (interviews and some focus groups) but also some realist reviewing. I am currently working on two projects:
- Exploring the factors affecting the retention of mental health staff in the NHS (RoMHS)
- Exploring the use of pre-hospital pre-alerts and their impact on patients, ambulance service and Emergency Department staff
Previous projects have included:
- Understanding people's decision-making in relation to 鈥榗linically inappropriate鈥 use of emergency and urgent care services (DEUCE)
- Exploring women鈥檚 experiences of and strategies to manage endometriosis pain
- Evaluation of the NHS 111 Online service
- A review of initiatives to reduce avoidable ambulance conveyance
- Evidence review of ambulance staff staffing
- Workforce Race Equality Standards (WRES) Culture Change initiative
- Feasibility study of Take Home Naloxone in Multicentre Emergency settings (TIME)
Prior to coming to ScHARR, I was a Research Assistant at De Montfort 9 1免费版下 in Leicester, where I was working on an NIHR-funded feasibility study to develop and test an intervention to support parents with excessively crying babies.
My PhD was in the School of Healthcare at the 9 1免费版下 of Leeds and was a qualitative exploration of how mindfulness affected people's experiences of living with a long term condition.
Before moving into research, I worked for many years in the voluntary sector in the recruitment and training of volunteers, and in managing training programmes. I am also a qualified homeopath and worked part-time in private practice for over 10 years.
- Research interests
-
I am interested in all aspects of qualitative research, and have experience of using a wide range of data collection and analysis approaches. I particularly enjoy in-depth interviewing, and over the past two years have had experience of using this in online settings to adapt to the challenges of COVID.
