Teilwra cynigion diwylliannol gyda ac ar gyfer defnyddwyr hŷn amrywiol o bresgripsiynu cymdeithasol (TOUS): Gwerthusiad realistig, astudiaeth a ariennir gan UKRI MRC dan arweiniad Prifysgol Rhydychen. Cyd-ymchwilydd ac arweinydd cyfranogiad y cyhoedd
Prosiect 'Arloesi Technoleg Gynorthwyol ar gyfer Dementia: Deall a Grymuso Cymunedau sydd wedi'u Tangynrychioli mewn Gofal Cymdeithasol' gyda Dr Roser Beneito-Montagut, a ariennir gan Rwydwaith Arloesi Cymru. Cyd-arweinydd
Rwyf hefyd wedi cwblhau gwaith lledaenu ar gyfer Cymrodoriaeth Arloesedd yr Academi Brydeinig sy'n archwilio cysylltiadau polisi presgripsiynu cymdeithasol creadigol ar gyfer pobl hŷn sy'n profi dementia ac ynysu cymdeithasol. Yn flaenorol, roeddwn yn ymchwilio i'r prosesau o ymgorffori arloesedd trwy greadigrwydd mewn lleoliadau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol fel rhan o'r rhaglen Health Arts Research People (HARP).
Fi oedd yr ymchwilydd arweiniol yn rhaglen Iechyd, y Celfyddydau, Ymchwil a Phobl (HARP) Y Lab. Yn y rhaglen hon, rwy'n ymchwilio i'r broses a'r effaith o ymgorffori arloesedd o fewn ymarfer celfyddydau ac iechyd mewn 17 tîm ledled Cymru. Rwyf hefyd yn cynnull y grŵp Cynnwys y Cyhoedd a Phrofiad Cleifion mewn Ymchwil y celfyddydau ac iechyd (PIPER) sy'n darparu llais arbenigedd defnyddwyr gwasanaeth i'n rhaglen ymchwil ac arloesi.

Ariannwyd y prosiect Dementia ac Amrywiaeth gan CCAUC ac edrychodd ar brofiadau gofal dementia grwpiau sy'n tangynrychioledig mewn perthynas ag ethnigrwydd, anabledd a rhywioldeb. Datblygwyd tri pherfformiad gyda mewnbwn y cyhoedd i gyfathrebu profiadau gofal dementia cymunedau byddar, lleiafrifoedd ethnig a hoyw.

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
Mae gen i arbenigedd yn y celfyddydau ac iechyd, anghydraddoldebau iechyd, cyflyrau cronig, cynnwys y cyhoedd a chyd-gynhyrchu. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig yn y gwahanol ffyrdd y gall presgripsiynu cymdeithasol creadigol gyfrannu at les pobl hŷn o grwpiau sydd wedi'u tangynrychioli. Rwy'n defnyddio dulliau ethnograffig, cyfranogol a chreadigol (megis arsylwi cyfranogwyr, Cyd-ddylunio seiliedig ar brofiad, Ymholiad Gwerthfawrogol, Strwythurau Rhyddhau, tynnu lluniau a fideo, coladu) i ddeall profiadau pobl hŷn o salwch, triniaeth a lles, e.e. canser, dementia, Clefyd Huntingdon. Rwy'n defnyddio cyfranogiad ac ymgysylltu â'r cyhoedd i nodi ffyrdd diwylliannol-briodol o wella ymgysylltiad defnyddwyr gwasanaeth mewn gweithgareddau ymchwil ac effaith. Fy nod yw cyfrannu at ddarparu arloesedd cyflymach rhad mewn gwasanaethau iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol pobl hŷn trwy ymchwil ymgysylltiedig.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n datblygu ceisiadau ymchwil newydd ym maes gofal cymdeithasol i oedolion gyda'r nod o fynd i'r afael ag anghenion pobl hŷn sy'n byw gyda chyflyrau cronig yn y gymuned ac mewn cartrefi gofal.
Archwiliodd fy PhD ddealltwriaeth leyg o salwch a defnydd o blanhigion meddyginiaethol ymhlith cleifion sy'n derbyn gofal meddygol mewn ystod o ddiwylliannau. Defnyddiais ddull ethnobiolegol sy'n fethodoleg ryngddisgyblaethol sy'n cyfuno anthropoleg a bioleg sy'n ceisio pontio dealltwriaeth ddiwylliannol a biofeddygol o brosesau biolegol. Mae fy rhaglen ymchwil yn adeiladu ar hyn ac yn defnyddio methodolegau ansoddol, meintiol a gweledol i ddeall sut mae cleifion, gofalwyr a gweithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol yn gwneud synnwyr o salwch cronig a darpariaeth gwasanaethau yn y GIG.
