Biography
I joined the University of Bradford in September 2020 as a Senior Research Fellow in Applied Health Research. I am currently working on a project exploring the practices of falls risk assessment and prevention in hospitals using realist evaluation. My research interests include evaluating how complex healthcare interventions work using theory-driven approaches such as realist evaluation. I have experience of using multiple methods including qualitative interviews, observations, and focus groups.
Research
My main research interests are the implementation andevaluation of complex interventions. I like to use programme theory approaches â typically realistevaluation â to explore how individuals/organisations interact withintervention resources. Iâve conducted evaluations in the contextor stroke care and rehabilitation, robotic surgery, audit and feedback and I'm currently working on a realist evaluation of the practices of falls risk assessment and prevention.
