Much of my current research focuses on patient and carer experiences of living with and managing long-term conditions (both physical and mental health), health and care inequalities, digital health and patient safety. I have specific expertise in qualitative research, participatory methods and co-design of complex interventions, and patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE).
