Background

I am a Senior Research Associate, based in the Population Health Sciences Institute at Â鶹´«Ã½. My research interests include the development of innovative (digital) approaches to address societal challenges such as loneliness, isolation, health and care in later life. 

I have worked with older people and health care professionals on a range of qualitative and mixed methods studies to explore experiences of everyday life. Recent projects include an evaluation of a community-based physical and social activity programme for older adults with mild frailty, a study on the use of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS2) in care homes, and a review of systematic reviews for Public Health England on the consequences of caring for older people and effective interventions to support unpaid carers.

I also co-lead , a research-practice partnership established in 2022, bringing together university and care sector partners to co-produce knowledge, share expertise, and ensure research is relevant and useful in practice. 

Current research topics include:

  • residential care models for older people
  • staff and patient experiences of virtual wards
  • staff clothing in care homes
