I am a mixed-methods researcher with expertise in managing complex national multi-site projects. My research focuses on pathways through forensic mental health services, with a particular emphasis on admission from and return to prison from secure psychiatric services and access to healthcare in the prison estate.
Curent projects:
'Access assessements for admission to adult low and medium secure services.'
‘An investigation into aftercare planning for those remitted to prison from secure services’.
Doctoral research:

- A national prospective cohort study of people all prisoner-patients remitted to prison from 33 NHS medium secure services over a 6 month period. This project utilised mixed methodology and includes a one year follow-up of prison remittals in 58 prisons, alongside a qualitative individual interviews and a focus group study with forensic clinicians, exploring their experiences of treating transferred prisoners and remitting to prison.
