Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Seicolegydd Charted ac ymchwilydd Gwyddor Ymddygiad Ôl-ddoethurol yn yr Is-adran Meddygaeth Boblogaeth, Ysgol Meddygaeth, Prifysgol Caerdydd.
Yn fy rôl bresennol gyda Chanolfan Ymchwil Canser Cymru (Prifysgol Caerdydd) rwy'n arwain ac yn cefnogi prosiectau am agweddau ymddygiadol sgrinio canser, atal a chanfod yn gynnar, gyda ffocws penodol ar leihau anghydraddoldebau economaidd-gymdeithasol mewn canser. Rwy'n defnyddio dulliau gwyddor ymddygiad i werthuso derbynioldeb, derbyn ac effaith dulliau newydd o atal poblogaethau ac arloesi diagnosis. Er enghraifft, arweiniais ddatblygiad yr ymyrraeth TIC-TOC - ymgyrch ymwybyddiaeth o symptomau canser amwys amlweddog yn y gymuned mewn ardal o amddifadedd economaidd-gymdeithasol uchel i gefnogi Clinigau Diagnostig Cyflym. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n cyd-arwain astudiaeth a ariennir gan Ymchwil Canser Cymru i brofi dichonoldeb cyflwyno a gwerthuso'r ymyrraeth TIC-TOC.
Rwy'n gyd-ymchwilydd ar yr astudiaeth I-Prehab a ariennir gan NIHR i fynd i'r afael ag annhegwch mewn adsefydlu canser; Treial Cessation Smygu Gwell Swydd Efrog (YESS) i brofi ymyrraeth rhoi'r gorau i ysmygu wedi'i phersonoli mewn lleoliad sgrinio canser yr ysgyfaint; astudiaeth a ariennir gan CRUK i ddatblygu pecyn cymorth ar gyfer darpariaeth rhoi'r gorau i ysmygu mewn sgrinio canser yr ysgyfaint; astudiaeth a ariennir gan CRUK i brofi deunyddiau gwybodaeth cleifion sgrinio canser yr ysgyfaint; ac astudiaeth a ariennir gan Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru i brofi derbynioldeb a dichonoldeb gwasanaeth atgyfeirio fferyllfa ar gyfer pobl â symptomau canser yr ysgyfaint. Rwy'n darparu cymorth prosiect ar gyfer Astudiaeth CABS (cabs-study.yolasite.com) - astudiaeth poblogaeth gyflym o effaith COVID-19 ar agweddau ac ymddygiadau canser.
Fi yw'r cynrychiolydd academaidd ar weithgor Anghydraddoldebau Canser Cwm Taf Morgannwg Iechyd yr Ysgyfaint a'm rôl ar Grŵp Llywio Clinigol Gwirio Iechyd yr Ysgyfaint GIG Cymru yw darparu mewnbwn gwyddor ymddygiadol i gefnogi gweithrediad y rhaglen beilot Archwiliad Iechyd yr Ysgyfaint gyntaf sydd wedi'i haenu gan risg yng Nghymru.
Rwy'n angerddol am gefnogi addysgu a dysgu o ansawdd uchel mewn Addysg Uwch. Rwy'n addysgu ar wahanol fodiwlau fel rhan o radd MBBCh Meddygol a gradd BSc Rhyng-gyfrifedig, ac rwy'n goruchwylio myfyrwyr israddedig ac ôl-raddedig. Rwy'n Gymrawd i'r Academi Addysg Uwch, a chefais Wobr y Deon am Ragoriaeth mewn Addysgu.

Ymgysylltu
Cynnwys y cyhoedd
Adlewyrchir gwerth a phwysigrwydd cynnwys cleifion a'r cyhoedd (PPI) mewn ymchwil (sy'n cynnwys aelodau lleyg o'r cyhoedd ar grwpiau rheoli ymchwil) trwy gydol fy ymchwil, gweler https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/medicine/about-us/engagement/case-study-grace-mccutchan.
Trwy fy rôl gyda Chanolfan Ymchwil Canser Cymru, rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio gyda chynrychiolwyr PPI i ddeall y rhwystrau i gymryd rhan mewn astudiaethau ymchwil, a datblygu strategaethau i ehangu cyfranogiad a mynd i'r afael â mater amrywiaeth mewn PPI.
Ymgysylltu â'r Cyhoedd
Yn yr un modd, mae ymgysylltu â'r cyhoedd (i roi gwybod i gleifion a'r cyhoedd am ganlyniadau astudiaethau) yn bwysig. Rwyf wedi cyflwyno sgyrsiau i wahanol grwpiau cymorth i gleifion, mewn siopau elusennol, ac mewn digwyddiadau wedi'u trefnu e.e. Celfyddydau Chapter 'At Public Uni'. Rwyf wedi bod yn rhan o ychydig o stondinau cyfathrebu gwyddoniaeth yn Diwrnodau Agored CRUK a gyda Gofal Canser Tenovus yng ngŵyl Greenman, gweler http://www.tenovuscancercare.org.uk/news/scientific-cellfie-success-at-green-man-festival/.
