Profile
I am a Research Fellow in the Centre for Primary Care. A social anthropologist by background, I undertake interdisciplinary projects in applied health research, adopting a wide range of participant-focused methods: ethnographic, narrative, surveys, visual approaches.
I joined QMUL in 2017 to take a lead role in collection, management, analysis and interpretation of data for the APOLLO-MM project - an in-depth ethnographic case study of patients’ and healthcare professionals’ experiences and practices of polypharmacy to inform a safe, effective and person-centred approach to medicines use in primary care.
My research explores interrelationships between knowledge, expertise, and practice in complex healthcare settings:
- patients’ roles in health service design/research
- implementation of research findings into professional practice/policy
- identifying stroke survivors’ unmet care needs
- patient and professional experiences and practices of polypharmacy
- practicing ‘safety’ in community pharmacy
