- Profile
-
On completion of my mixed methods PhD in Clinical Health Psychology in 2004, I spent four years in the NHS as a Research Lead in a Primary Care Trust. I joined ScHARR in 2008 as a Research Associate on the Self Management Supported by Assistive, Rehabilitation and Telecare Technologies (SMART2) and the Built Environment in Acute Care for Older People projects. In 2010 I moved to the section of Public Health and worked alongside local authority partners and academic colleagues as manager of the Public Health and Inequalities theme of the Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC SY and YH).
I currently manage the Practice and Research Collaborative (PaRC) Yorkshire and Humber network, which aims to bridge the research into practice gap and link academic institutions with local authority based public health practitioners across the region to facilitate collaborative working (https://www.parc-hub.co.uk/). In addition to my research role, I am the Academic Lead for Evaluation and an Embedded Researcher within the Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) Doncaster ().
I am the Knowledge Exchange Champion for the section of Public Health and ºù«Ӱҵ Evaluation Hub Lead. I have led a number of impactful consultancy projects as Principal Investigator for high profile clients including the British Red Cross, Yorkshire Cancer Research, Cruse Bereavement Care and the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra). The interim report from the national evaluation of the Green Social Prescribing Project is available here: /scharr/news/university-sheffield-contribute-report-green-social-prescribing-prevent-and-tackle-mental-ill-health
The final report from the national evaluation of the Green Social Prescribing Project is available here:
