Dr, PhD
I am a thrice King’s graduate (BSc Nursing, MSc Research, PhD Social Science) dedicated to developing collaborative practice-ready health professionals for coordinated, quality, and safe care. My work responds to mounting research evidence and policy calls from national (NHS) and international (World Health Organization) bodies for greater interprofessional learning and collaborative working as key drivers for health system strengthening and resilience.
I research, develop, implement and evaluate interprofessional, team-based practice interventions for patient safety and quality improvement. This responds to NHS safety data pointing to 11,000 avoidable deaths every year due to failings in safety culture, including teamwork and psychological safety. I have secured over £1.6m in external mostly overhead-bearing grant funding, with over £1m as Principal Investigator of which over 900k to self.
I am recognised as a thought leader in my area of scholarship, across both education and research, with SciVal ranking me in the top 2% worldwide on the topic of ‘Interprofessional Relations; Health Occupations’. My publications are world-leading, making theoretical and practical innovations in my field of scholarship internationally.
I focus my research on strengthening the organisation and delivery of healthcare, towards improving the accessibility, efficiency, safety and quality of healthcare systems. I am an expert evaluator on this topic for major funding bodies including the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and the European Commission.
My research is empirical and theoretically driven, applying rigorous qualitative social science techniques to investigating contemporary societal and healthcare related challenges. Much of this work is ethnographic in nature, involving participant observation, interviewing and document analysis. I believe that complex problems benefit from multiple methodological approaches and so I promote interdisciplinarity and collaborative research.
