Systematic Reviewer
Specialist Unit for Review Evidence (SURE)
Overview
Working in the Specialist Unit for Review Evidence (SURE), I specialise in the production of systematic reviews, rapid reviews, and literature overviews, primarily on health and social care topics. My work is mainly situated within the Health and Care Research Wales Evidence Centre, Centre for Healthcare Evaluation, Device Assessment and Research (CEDAR), and SAPEA. I am involved in all aspects of review production, from developing review protocols to evidence synthesis.
Prior to joining Cardiff University in 2023, I worked at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s College London and at Birkbeck, University of London, on a number of projects focusing on mental health and wellbeing. These included co-producing educational materials about mental health with young people and various research projects conducted within the Centre for Neurodiversity at Work at Birkbeck, University of London.
