Profile
I am an applied health services researcher with a background in psychology and expertise in patient safety and de-implementation based at the School of Healthcare, University of Leeds. I am affiliated with the NIHR Yorkshire and Humber Patient Safety Research Collaboration (YH PSRC), specifically the ‘De-cluttering (Safely) for Safety’ theme.
I graduated from Newcastle University with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology in 2016. I was awarded an MSc in Health Psychology from the Northumbria University in 2017, and I was awarded a PhD (funded by the Healthcare Improvement Studies Institute) in Psychology from the University of Leeds in 2023.
Previously, I worked as a senior research fellow on an NIHR programme grant ‘Single and Safe Intervention for MEDication administration (SaSI-MEDs)’: The development and evaluation of an intervention to de-implement unnecessary double-checking of medicines in hospital.
As part of my current role at the University of Leeds, I am a research fellow based in the Quality and Safety theme, working on research that aims to improve medicines safety for people living in care homes. I have a broad range of research interests that centre on improving the quality and safety of healthcare and social care settings. These interests include patient involvement in patient safety, medicines safety and safety inequities.
