Dr Jemima Dooley (she/her)

I am a qualitative researcher and conversation analyst, with expertise and a special interest in the co-design and co-production of research with the public. I am a Research Fellow for the Nurture-U Student Mental Health Project, funded by the UKRI, which is developing and evaluating a stepped change approach to mental health and wellbeing in university students. I lead on engagement for the project, working closely with our Student Advisory Group to connect with students and encourage them to participate and help shape the research. 

In other previous and ongoing work I have mostly examined communication between clinicians and patients in different mental health settings, using mixed methods and co-production. 

Other ongoing projects:

• Co-Chief investigator for the NIHR RfPB funded 'Forget Me Nots guidance' research - co-producing guidance for dementia diagnosis.
• Co-applicant on the NIHR RfPB funded project UNDERSTAND - co-producing guidance for fetal medicine clinicians communicating unexpected news in pregnancy. 
• Co-applicant on NIHR RfPB funded project MCI-COS - developing a core outcome set for research into Mild Cognitive Impairment
• Collaborator on the CoRD study, exploring communication of risk at dementia diagnosis.

Recently completed projects:

• NIHR School for Primary Care Research fellowship exploring urgent care in dementia
• Co-lead on DEEP grant exploring post-diagnosis care in dementia, co-produced with the Forget Me Nots (researchers living with dementia)
• Co-applicant COUNTED, an NIHR RfPB funded study exploring communication of risk in memory clinics
• Qualitative Lead and Women's Reference Group public engagement facilitator on C-MEP (Covid Maternity Equality Project) with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists exploring the impact of Covid-19 on inequalities in maternal outcomes.
