Trosolwyg
Mae gen i Gymrodoriaeth Arloesi yr Academi Brydeinig sy'n archwilio'r cysylltiadau polisi presgripsiynu cymdeithasol creadigol ar gyfer pobl hŷn sy'n profi dementia ac ynysigrwydd cymdeithasol. Rwyf hefyd yn gweithio ar y prosiectau canlynol:
- Mapio gwasanaeth clefydau trosglwyddadwy ar gyfer poblogaethau ffoaduriaid a cheiswyr lloches ledled Cymru (Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru)
- Defnyddio arferion cyfyngol yng ngofal pobl sy'n byw gyda dementia yn yr ysbyty (National Institute for Health Research)
-
Mynd i'r afael â'r rhwystrau i feicio cynhwysol yng Nghymru (Cymdeithas Ddysgedig Cymru)
Roeddwn yn ymchwilio i'r prosesau o ymgorffori arloesedd trwy greadigrwydd mewn lleoliadau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol fel rhan o raglen Pobl Ymchwil y Celfyddydau Iechyd (HARP).
Rwy'n olygydd cyswllt yng nghylchgrawn Arts & Health, yn gyd-gynullydd y grŵp ymchwil Ymfudo, Ethinicity and Diversity (MEAD) ac yn eistedd ar dîm arwain Rhwydwaith Ymchwil Lles Sefydliad Ymchwil a Data Cymdeithasol ac Economaidd Cymru (WISERD). Rwyf hefyd yn aelod o Grŵp Cynghori Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant Cydraddoldeb Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru a gweithgor Iechyd Meddwl a Lles Byddar Cymru Gyfan. Yn 2021, cefais Wobr Amrywiaeth Cymru sy'n Gyfeillgar i Ddementia gan Gymdeithas Alzheimer Cymru a Gwobr Cynnwys y Cyhoedd gan Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru. Yn 2022, cefais y Wobr Dathlu Rhagoriaeth mewn Cenhadaeth Ddinesig gan Brifysgol Caerdydd. Yn 2023, cefais Wobr Teilyngdod Iawn am fy ngwaith ym maes Gwyddoniaeth, Technoleg a Gofal Iechyd gan Gymdeithas Cyflawniad Menywod Cymru o leiafrifoedd ethnig.
Rwy'n ymchwilydd gwasanaethau iechyd ansoddol gyda chefndir mewn anthropoleg feddygol, dylunio a gwerthuso sy'n canolbwyntio ar y defnyddiwr. Mae gen i brofiad o gyd-gynhyrchu mewn lleoliadau gofal iechyd gan ddefnyddio Cyd-ddylunio Seiliedig ar Brofiad, Ymchwiliad Gwerthfawrogol, Ymchwil Gweithredu Cyfranogol ac Arfarniad Gwledig Cyfranogol. Mae fy ymchwil yn y gorffennol wedi cyfrannu at werthuso a dealltwriaeth sylfaenol o integreiddio gwybodaeth lleyg a phrofiadol i wella gwasanaethau iechyd ar gyfer cyflyrau tymor hir fel canser a dementia. Rwy'n defnyddio dulliau anthropoleg feddygol fel dulliau ethnograffig a gweledol i ddeall profiadau cleifion o salwch, triniaeth a goroesedd. Rwy'n defnyddio cyfranogiad ac ymgysylltiad cleifion a'r cyhoedd i nodi ffyrdd sy'n briodol yn ddiwylliannol o ymgysylltu â defnyddwyr gwasanaeth mewn ymchwil, gwella gwasanaethau a gweithgareddau cynhyrchu effaith. Fy nod yw cyfrannu at ddarparu arloesedd rhad cyflymach mewn gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol trwy ymchwil ymgysylltiedig.

Ymchwil
Creative Ageing and Social Prescribing (British Academy)
The British Academy Innovation Fellowship scheme is designed to enable researchers in the humanities and social sciences to partner with organisations and business in the creative and cultural, public, private and policy sectors in order to address challenges that require innovative approaches and solutions. It allows an established researcher to work with a UK-based partner organisation on a specified policy or societal challenge. 'Creative ageing and social prescribing: Bridging the gap between diverse service users, service providers and policy makers in Wales', will be carried out partnership with the Arts Council for Wales and 11 organisations across Wales who deliver exemplary creative interventions to older people.
Arts and Health (Arts Council Wales)
I am the lead researcher in Y Lab's Health, Arts, Research and People (HARP) programme. In this programme, I am researching the process and impact of embedding innovation within arts and health practice in 17 teams across Wales. I also convene the Public Involvement and Patient Experience in arts and health Research (PIPER) group which provides the service user voice of expertise to our research and innovation programme.

Dementia and Diversity (Higher Education Funding Council for Wales)
I recently completed a research and engagement project looking at the dementia care experiences of under-represent groups in relation to ethnicity, disability and sexuality. Three performances were developed with public involvement input to communicate the dementia care experiences of D/deaf, ethnic minority and gay communities.

Addysgu
Ar hyn o bryd rydw i mewn swydd ymchwil yn unig ac rwy'n cyflwyno darlithoedd gwadd ar y celfyddydau ac iechyd, dementia ac anghydraddoldebau iechyd a rhagnodi cymdeithasol.
Bywgraffiad
I am a medical anthropologist, with expertise in qualitative health services research with a focus of harnessing and integrating service user and service provider experiences in quality improvement. Arts for heath and creative methodologies are key aspects of this work as they help overcome linguistic and cultural communication barriers, enhance participant’ wellbeing and catalyse impact to professional and lay audiences.
My PhD examined lay understandings of illness and medicinal plant use amongst patients receiving medical care within a range of cultures. I used an ethnobiological approach which is an interdisciplinary methodology combining anthropology and biology that seeks to bridge cultural and biomedical understandings of biological processes. My research programme builds on this and uses qualitative, quantitative and visual methodologies to understand how do patients, carers and healthcare professionals make sense of chronic illness and service provision in the NHS.
I have previously led a programme of research that used innovative creative methodologies to accelerate the unique potential of public involvement in the transformation of public services. My research as principal investigator includes looking into the unique physical, emotional and financial implications of facing cancer while living alone and understanding the needs of hard-to-reach/seldom-heard dementia communities with additional identities regarding ethnicity, sexuality or disability.
As co-applicant, it includes a programme of National Institute for Health Research studies examining dementia care in hospitals. The first (NIHR £508k) looked at the unique challenges of managing continence and its impact on personhood and physicality with a further successful grant submission (NIHR £1M) on restraint. In both studies I lead the involvement and engagement work-packages which include collaborating with artists patients and carers to identify and test visual methodologies that have the potential to access hard-to-express experiences of chronic illness. I am also involved in a cross-service research initiative on the wider role of arts in health for marginalised groups such as refugees, asylum seekers, long-stay hospital patients and care home residents.
I use arts for health to inform health service research, teaching and practice through the development of online platforms. These online resources have been used by educators and policy makers. For examples please see here:
http://www.storiesofdementia.com/search/label/Art
https://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/cancerservicesresearch/art/
Since 2016 when I began engaging creative methodologies more formally in health services research, I have presented my work on arts for health in various national and international conferences such as the Medical Sociology Meeting of the British Sociological Association (2018), the All Wales Palliative Care Conference (2017), Storytelling for Health (2017), and the ‘Art, Materiality and Representation’ conference of the Royal Anthropological Institute (2017). More recently, the paper that I have produced based on this work was selected for a specialist symposium on ‘Arts of Caring, Arts of Knowing: Dementia’ at the Department of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen (2019).
I have also been involved in a participatory action research project in Parc prison where male prisoners were engaged in having a say in the provision of health and well-being services. At the School of Medicine at King’s College London (2011-2013), I evaluated participatory healthcare improvement in two intensive care units and lung cancer services in England
