My research in the School has largely involved investigating the implementation of health and social care policies in practice, particularly in the area of choice.  I have recently contributed to a large study looking at how personalisation, choice and control are enacted through the use of direct payments in the residential care sector.  Prior to this I was working on a study investigating commissioning healthcare and how the voice of patients and the public are listened to when making commissioning decisions.

I am currently leading on the qualitative arm of a study evaluating the Heatwave Plan for England. This will involve analysing the process of planning and implementation within and across several case studies over one year.  I am also contributing to a study about how personalisation is conceptualised within the English residential care sector catering for older people.
