Overview
I am a research fellow at the School of Healthcare Sciences and Co-Director of the Wales Centre for Evidence Based Care, a JBI Centre of Excellence https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/research/explore/research-units/wales-centre-for-evidence-based-care
In May 2021, along with five other centres across Wales, the Wales Centre for Evidence Based Care were contracted by the Wales COVID-19 Evidence Centre (https://healthandcareresearchwales.org/about-research-community/wales-covid-19-evidence-centre) to provide 50 rapid reviews per year answering priority questions for policy and practice in Wales. The Wales COVID-19 Evidence Centre work with stakeholders who are involved in health and social care across Wales, to understand the impact of the pandemic on the health and care delivery systems in Wales, prioritise questions that are answerable from the research evidence, and ensure the best available, up-to-date, and relevant evidence is readily available to inform their decision making. Stakeholders include the Welsh Government COVID-19 Technical Advisory Group.
Prior to this my work has focused on vulnerable groups in healthcare using the methodological approach of systematic reviews to explore how health inequities can be reduced in this population.Current topics of interest include access to cancer services and experiences of cancer care for adults with a physical disability, continence care for people living with dementia end of life care for people with severe mental illness and crisis responses for children and young people.
