Overview
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 Student Mental Health Project, funded by the UKRI MRC, 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. We are aiming to be representative of all students on campus and want to make sure the voices of traditionally underrepresented groups are heard.
Other ongoing 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.
