As a mixed method researcher I use a wide range of methods to answer clinical research questions. I have experience of clinical trial designs, survey and epidemiological methods, ‘exploratory basic science’ and systematic reviewing including the use of meta-analysis. Although primarily a quantitative researcher I also use qualitative methods such as interviewing, focus groups, observations and service evaluation approaches.
