I am currently working on a project examining national decision-making around new vaccine adoption in low and middle income countries.
I have previously worked as Food & Nutrition Health Promotion Specialist at Barnet Health Authority/Primary Care Trust, Public Health Policy Officer at Maternity Alliance and as a Research Officer at the Social Science Research Unit at the Institute of Education (University of London).
I have worked on health promotion systematic reviews and a mixed methods evaluation of a young people's development programme in England. I have also spent time working at McMaster University (looking at cochrane reviews of relevance to policymakers) and at Cancer Care Ontario (exploring mechanisms for combining different evidence types to inform policy decision making).
My PhD explored researchers' and policy stakeholders' perceptions of the relevance of research to policy in Ghana.
