I am a social scientist with clinical training. My research interests encompass health and social care complex interventions crossing organisational and disciplinary boundaries, leadership and workforce considerations, and caregiver burden. I draw on medical sociology, health services research and implementation science. I have experience in theory-guided evaluations, interactions between evidence, policy and practice, and co-productive approaches to research processes and outcomes. These interests developed through my service improvement activities as a rehabilitation physician in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. I became increasingly interested in understanding factors influencing health and social care service delivery, including the work of patients, caregivers, and multidisciplinary teams. I completed a Darzi Fellowship which further stimulated my research interests, leading to a Professional Doctorate, which I undertook alongside my clinical work in the NHS. I continue a clinical role, as a volunteer physician with the NGO Medical Justice.
