- Profile
-
I joined the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) here at the University of Sheffield in 1994 and for almost 15 years I was responsible for management of the Information Resources (IR) Section (1994-2008). My previous roles in the field of health information had spanned almost 35 years working in a variety of health library and information units in the NHS, the Medical Research Council and at the King's Fund, London.
A systematic review methodologist since 1995, I teach on the Masters in Public Health, the Masters in Public Health (Online) and the MSc in Health Informatics (within the Department of Information Studies). I am a co-convenor for the international Cochrane Collaboration Qualitative & Implementation Research Methods Group. I am a founder member of the Cochrane Information Retrieval Methods Group and a member of the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Group and the Cochrane Trainers' Network. I am also a member of the HTA-i Information Specialists' Group and an associate member of the InterTASC Information Specialists' Group. Along with colleagues at ScHARR I hosted the first ever conference in Evidence Based Library and Information Practice in 2001 and since then I have been a leading international figure within this paradigm.
I currently occupy an academic role that combines my interests in the evidence base for information science with supporting the evidence based practice of others, mainly health professionals, through critical appraisal and systematic reviews. At the same time I occupy an executive function within ScHARR as Director of Information (Research Outputs). In July 2011 I was awarded the Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize by the CILIP Health Libraries Group in recognition of "an outstanding contribution to health librarianship"
- Research interests
-
My research interests focus on all methods of systematic review, evidence synthesis, evidence based practice, and knowledge translation. I am particularly interested in systematic review topics from developing countries, particularly from Sub-Saharan Africa, and in public health topics such as alcohol and HIV/AIDS. I have published with students in topics such as medication adherence, social marketing, disaster management and evidence based management. My current research students are working in knowledge management in acute hospitals and use of NICE guidance in Social care.
I have been involved in development of a wide range of tools for dissemination, both web based and as online briefings. In 2013 I was one of the first to achieve the University of Sheffield's PhD by Publications with my thesis entitled Acknowledging a Dual Heritage for Qualitative Evidence Synthesis: Harnessing the Qualitative Research and Systematic Review Research Traditions. My most recent interests centre on multiple types of review, including rapid reviews, mapping reviews and scoping reviews.

- Teaching interests
-
My teaching interests lie in Systematic Reviews and Critical Appraisal, Evidence Based Healthcare Information, Public Health Informatics and Use of Secondary Data Sources. I have a keen interest in e-learning and developed the Facilitated Online Learning Interactive Opportunity (FOLIO) programmes for the National Health Service and the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). I co-ordinate the Annual Short Course Evidence Synthesis of Qualitative Research in Europe (ESQUIRE) and also teach on ScHARR's recently-designed short course on Rapid Reviews and its longstanding course on Introduction to Systematic Reviews.
I am interested in supervising Research Students in topics/areas such as systematic review methodology, qualitative evidence synthesis (including meta-ethnography, realist synthesis and meta-narrative approaches), and implementation and dissemination research. I am particularly interested in qualitative systematic reviews in topics of importance to lower and middle income countries (LMICs).
