- Profile
-
I work as a Senior Lecturer in the Division of Population Health.
I work full time and balance research and teaching with leadership and management of the Division of Population Health.
I joined ScHARR in October 2006 as a Research Associate on the Evaluation of Supplementary Prescribing in Nursing and Pharmacy project, based in the Public Health section. Prior to this, I worked as a Research Assistant in the School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of ºù«Ӱҵ.
- Research interests
-
My interests lie primarily in undertaking evidence reviews of health service interventions, specifically in service delivery areas such as care of older people, emergency department care and medication administration. I am also interested in the science underpinning evidence review methodology.
I am a co-investigator on a number of large evidence synthesis grants and have led a variety of different reviews for organisations including the NIHR Ensygn Centre, the HS&DR Evidence Synthesis Centre, the What Works Centre for Wellbeing and the SCHARR Public Health Collaborating Centre and have been involved in a number of publications from this work. I have also published on methods relating to searching.
From my prior research projects, I maintain an interest in health services research with a particular interest in information use by patients and carers. I obtained my PhD in 2005 from the University of ºù«Ӱҵ. It examined the impact of the MMR vaccine scare on parents in terms of their decision-making and information requirements.
