Profile

I am a social scientist with 25 years’ experience in applied health and care research. I have over 150 peer-reviewed publications, more than 8000 citations, a Google Scholar h-index of 43, and am associated with over £25m in research income. As Assistant Director of Sheffield Clinical Trials Research Unit between 2009 and 2025, I secured vital infrastructure for over 60 staff with a £2.5m annual turnover.

Based on the database Overton, my work is cited in more than 700 policy/practice guidelines worldwide, including 43 NICE guidelines. My support for NHS England-funded quality improvement work resulted in the adoption of two national indicators (IAP00610 and IAP00611) - relevant, actionable, and measurable information about quality of care and service performance.

My patient-led, equity-focused, Health Foundation-funded AWARE-IBD project received a 2024 British Society of Gastroenterology Service Improvement Award. I previously served on the NIHR HTA Clinical Evaluation and Trials committee (2019-2024) as an expert in randomised controlled trials, mixed-methods research and evidence synthesis, and currently serve on the NIHR Health and Social Care Delivery Research (NIHR) committee (2025-2028).
