I am based at the Centre for Primary Care and Health Services Research.

I am the Research Lead of the 'Safer Care Systems and Transitions' theme of the NIHR Greater Manchester PSTRC http://www.patientsafety.manchester.ac.uk/research/themes/safer-care/

I also act as the Divisional co-lead of Social Responsibility. 

My core research interests are:

• Developing and testing innovative service delivery, and best practice interventions to improve the quality and safety of care for people with mental ill-health, particularly during transitions of care.
• Improving the well-being (e.g. morale, burnout, teamwork) of health care providers and understanding its impact on the quality of patient care, and workforce retention/engagement.
• Improving global mental health, suicide prevention, and patient safety in low-and-middle-income countries.

I am currently line managing 5 post-doctoral researchers and supervising 5 PhD students. 

I am running a quarterly 1-day practical workshop on systematic reviews and meta-analyses for staff and students within the Faculty and I teach as part of the Evidence-based Practice module of the Masters of Public Health.

My main research skills include:

• Analyses of large observational studies (cohort and cross-sectional)
• Analyses of clinical trials
• Individual Participant Data (IPD) meta-analyses
• Systematic reviews and aggregate meta-analyses
• Causal modelling (mediation and moderation) in STATA, AMOS and MPLUS
• Advanced STATA programming and multiple imputation methods
