Comisiynau WCEBC
Rwyf wedi bod yn brif ymchwilydd ar nifer o brosiectau synthesis tystiolaeth, a gomisiynwyd gan sefydliadau gan gynnwys GIG Lloegr, Sefydliad Canser Ewrop, Canolfan Gydweithredol Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd ar gyfer Datblygu Bydwreigiaeth, Coleg Brenhinol y Bydwrfigion, Cynghrair James Lind, Llywodraeth Cymru, a'r Ysgolion Peirianneg a Seicoleg ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd. Mae ein rhaglen waith bresennol gyda Chanolfan Dystiolaeth Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru.
Grantiau cyfredol
Yn ddiweddar, rwyf wedi cwblhau Astudiaeth O fewn Adolygiad (SWAR) sy'n canolbwyntio ar werthuso defnyddioldeb offer unedig ar gyfer arfarniad beirniadol o fewn adolygiadau cyflym o effeithiau ymyrraeth. Arweiniais dîm rhyngwladol o arbenigwyr o sefydliadau enwog, gan gynnwys Prifysgol McMaster yng Nghanada a Phrifysgol y Frenhines Belfast i fynd i'r afael â heriau methodolegol yn y broses arfarnu beirniadol trwy asesu effeithlonrwydd ac effeithiolrwydd offer unedig. Mae'r gwaith hwn yn adeiladu ar adolygiad cwmpasu cynhwysfawr o offer unedig ar gyfer asesu ansawdd methodolegol astudiaethau ar hap a heb eu hap, a gyflwynwyd fel poster yn yr Uwchgynhadledd Tystiolaeth Fyd-eang ym Mhrâg ym mis Medi 2024. Mae'r prosiect hwn nid yn unig yn ceisio symleiddio'r broses adolygu ond hefyd i greu model y gellir ei gymhwyso'n rhyngwladol, gan wella cyflymder a chywirdeb adolygiadau cyflym ar gyfer penderfynwyr gofal iechyd ledled y byd.
Ers mis Ionawr 2025, rwyf wedi bod yn arwain y ffrwd waith synthesis tystiolaeth fel rhan o brosiect a ariennir gan raglen Ymchwil Cyflenwi Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol NIHR. Nod y prosiect yw gwella profiadau pobl Affricanaidd ac Affricanaidd y Caribî sy'n byw gyda dementia wrth gael mynediad at gymorth gan Gofal Cymdeithasol Oedolion. Canolbwyntiodd y ffrwd waith synthesis tystiolaeth ar ddadansoddi ymchwil ansoddol bresennol i ddeall mynediad a phrofiadau gwasanaeth ar gyfer y boblogaeth hon yn well. Bydd y gwaith hwn yn helpu i lywio strategaethau ar gyfer canfod yn gynnar, cymorth diwylliannol briodol, a gofal teg i unigolion sy'n byw gyda dementia yn y cymunedau hyn.
Addysgu
Mae'r pynciau rwy'n eu haddysgu i gyd yn cyd-fynd â'm harbenigedd mewn synthesis tystiolaeth yr wyf yn eu haddysgu ar lefel ôl-raddedig i fyfyrwyr gofal iechyd sy'n rhychwantu ystod o ddisgyblaethau academaidd (nyrsys, bydwragedd, radiograffwyr, ffisiotherapyddion a therapyddion galwedigaethol).
Rwy'n cyd-arwain modiwl Traethawd Hir yr Adolygiad Systematig ar gyfer y Meistr mewn Ymarfer Gofal Iechyd Uwch (NRT 080).
Rwy'n arwain trefniadaeth a chyflwyniad rhaglenni hyfforddi synthesis tystiolaeth JBI - hyfforddiant adolygu systematig cynhwysfawr a gweithdy adolygu cwmpasu.
