I am a mixed-methods public health policy researcher working on projects that aim to both evaluate and inform UK health and social care policymaking. Currently, I split my time evenly between the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Policy Innovation and Evaluation (PIRU) and the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Behavioural and Social Sciences (PRU BaSS).
