Research

I am part of the NIHR Innovation Observatory and the Evidence Synthesis Group, and have previously worked with the NIHR Healthy Ageing Policy Research Unit. My research mainly involves undertaking systematic reviews and other types of evidence synthesis products. I am especially interested in how we can embed patient and public involvement and insights into evidence syntheses, particularly in creative methods for involving patients and the public.
