- Profile
-
I have over 20 years of qualitative health research experience and have focused on working with marginalised populations.
I currently lead the Inclusive Research Workstream within the Academic Unit for Primary Care, working in collaboration with the Deep End Clinical Research Network. I co-chair the Ethnic Minorities Research Inclusion meetings and speak nationally about inclusivity in research.
My other research interests include communication difficulties and persistent physical symptoms.
