Health Technology Assessment and Evidence Synthesis Social Science in Orthopaedic Surgery Qualitative and Mixed Methods
I am Professor of Health Technology Assessment and Implementation Science and NIHR Advanced Fellow at WMS and Honorary Professor, University Hospitals Coventry, and Warwickshire. I am an internationally recognised interdisciplinary research leader in Implementation Science and Health Technology Assessment, with £28 million in research funding leading a team of 40 academic staff. I am Director of Warwick Evidence, NIHR Technology Assessment Reviews team, Co-Director of the West Midlands NIHR Evidence Synthesis Group and Deputy Director (WMS) NIHR Applied Research Collaboration West Midlands. I am a member of the NIHR HTA research commissioning committee. As a Chartered Psychologist I spearhead an innovative programme of research on Implementation Science in surgery. I have an outstanding publication record in this field and have been majority personal Fellowship funded since 2013 through receipt of three independent NIHR Fellowships. My extremely competitive personal awards from a leading UK research funder span 13 years and demonstrate the high repute of my research originality and scholarship in the social sciences. Current post graduate students: Chancellors Scholarship PhD candidate Michelle Dyer: 'Developing a mental health support intervention for paternal mental health based on the views, experiences and preferences of fathers and healthcare practitioners in a contemporary and culturally diverse society' NIHR PhD candidate Janette Parr: 'Public Health Intelligence Challenges for Local Authorities Responding to COVID-19: A Mixed Methods Study' When not at work, I am an avid ultra-marathon runner and jump rope enthusiast.
