Bsc (Hons), MPhil PhD
Senior Research fellow
- Available for postgraduate supervision
Overview
I am a senior research fellow at the School of Healthcare Sciences and Co-Director of the Wales Centre For Evidence Based Care, a JBI Centre of Excellence https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/research/explore/research-units/wales-centre-for-evidence-based-care
In April 2023, along with five other centres across Wales, the Wales Centre For Evidence Based Care was contracted by the Health and Care Wales Evidence Centre https://researchwalesevidencecentre.co.uk/ to provide evidence synthesis products that answer priority questions for policy and practice in Wales. The Health and Care Wales Evidence Centre work with stakeholders who are involved in health and social care across Wales, to understand the impact of the pandemic on the health and care delivery systems in Wales, prioritise questions that are answerable from the research evidence, and ensure the best available, up-to-date, and relevant evidence is readily available to inform their decision making.
I am interested in healthcare inequalities across vulnerable groups and my PhD focused on addressing the needs of vulnerable population in healthcare. I drew on evidence from five mixed methods systematic reviews to explore how healthcare inequalities can be reduced in this population. Current topics of interest include access to cancer services and experiences of cancer care for adults with a physical disability, continence care for people living with dementia, end of life care for people with severe mental illness and crisis responses for children and young people.
