I am an interdisciplinary researcher spanning both health and social care research. My expertise is in qualitative and mixed methods and I am co-lead for Warwick Medical School's 20 CATs Masters module Mixed Methods in Health Research. I am a Patient and Public Involvement Adviser and regional lead for Social Care for the NIHR Research Design Service (RDS) West Midlands. I am especially interested in health and social care in the community, including services provided by the voluntary sector. My recent projects include an NIHR HTA funded Feasibility study for an impact study of Social Prescribing and an evaluation of the Better Care Fund in England for DHSC. I am currently working on an evaluation of the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) in primary and community care.
