Profile: In 2014 I joined the Health Services Research Section of ScHARR and have worked on a number of research studies in the field of Emergency Care Research, including; identifying alternative care pathways for frequent users of the ED and an evaluation of GP services co-located with the ED across Yorkshire and the Humber. I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2013 with an MA in Social Research and prior to that I was awarded a BSC in Applied Psychology.

Research interests

My research interests involve developing new and innovative pathways of care for patients attending the Emergency Department.
