My research is primarily based around developing and evaluating complex interventions to improve health inequalities and outcomes for for children and families, with a particular focus on oral and public health and health service research. I am a Chartered Psychologist registered with the British Psychological Society.
I am an advisor for the NIHR Reseach Design Service North West
I volunteer with the Change Exchange, a University of Manchester based organisation that works alongside other UK organisations and health services in sub-saharan Africa to offer consultation on ways in which health psychology can enhance and improve behaviour change initiatives. Alongside UOM colleagues, I have worked with a Pharmacy team from Glasgow to deliver training in appropriate prescribing of Antibiotics in the Keta Hospital and the Accra Police Hospital in Ghana. I hope to return in February 2020 for some follow-up work.
I supervise a number of BSc, Msc, MRes and Phd student projects and am a Manchester Access Programme (MAP) tutor. I deliver lectures and workshops on behavioural science and communication for the BSc Oral Health Science and BDS Dentistry programmes and teach on the MSc Clinical and Health Psychology course.
I also have a role at Lancaster University working for the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) North West Coast, Equitable Place Based Health and Care (EPHC) Theme leading a number of research projects focused on health equity. You can find my profile here.
I am a chartered psychologist and researcher based at the Manchester Centre for Health Psychology (MCHP). I have worked in the area of social and health services research since 2003, having held previous roles at Birkbeck College, University of London and the Centre for Public Health Research at the University of Chester. I gained my PhD in Dental and Commmunity Public Health in 2012 and continue to work closely with the Division of Dentistry, securing funding from NIHR for The Polar Bear Study, a collborative project between MCHP and the Dental Health Unit which started early January 2020.
Principal research interests include using theory and evidence from behavioural science and health psychology to develop and evaluate complex interventions to improve health; oral health; health services research; qualitative methods and improving health inequalities.
