Personal Statement

I have been a postdoc researcher at The University of Liverpool for seven years. I am a multi-methods researcher, with expertise in qualitative methods. My research focuses on making clinical trials patient-centred and improving trial recruitment. In recent years, I have focused on making trials more accessible to underserved groups. Recent projects I have been involved in include:

- Lead on the CO-ACT study - Making clinical research more accessible by optimising trial communication (Under review: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-3236034/v1)
- Co-Lead in developing the NIHR INCLUDE Socioeconomic Disadvantage Framework (https://www.trialforge.org/trial-forge-centre/socioeconomic-disadvantage-framework/)
- Co-investigator and Named Researcher on 'The Bracing Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Study' (BASIS) (https://fundingawards.nihr.ac.uk/award/NIHR131081)
- Qualitative researcher on 'The clinical and cost-effectiveness of contemporary diagnostics for patients with suspected Hospital Acquired Pneumonia' (HAP-FAST) (https://fundingawards.nihr.ac.uk/award/NIHR300669)
