Research interests
My research is primarily focussed on applied health services research, improvement research, and implementation science, particularly related to enhancing the evidence base for improving the design and delivery of health services and improving population outcomes.
I am an experienced health services researcher with expertise in the practical application of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies across different diseases and contexts. I have managed multiple large-scale cross sector research projects.
I work collaboratively with a wide range of people and agencies (including the Scottish government, NHS boards, improvement agencies, academics, the third sector, practitioners and service users) to develop the evidence base and to facilitate the mobilisation of knowledge and evidence into practice and policy
