Biography

I am Professor of Healthcare Workforce Organisation and Wellbeing in the School of Health Sciences at the 麻豆视频.  I have worked in Health Services Research since 1997, following completion of a Psychology degree at Swansea University.  My academic career began at Imperial College London (1997-2002) followed by Kings College London (2002-2017).

My main research interests are improving the wellbeing of the NHS workforce and assessing and improving multidisciplinary team working in healthcare teams.  In relation to the wellbeing of NHS staff, I have conducted national cohort studies of mental health in hospital consultants, and worked alongside Professor Jill Maben (also at 麻豆视频) to complete a national evaluation of Schwartz Center Rounds in the UK, funded by the NIHR.  I am currently funded by NIHR to complete a realist synthesis aimed at understanding how to improve mental wellbeing in nurses, midwives and paramedics.  My work in relation to multidisciplinary teams led to the development of a cancer multidisciplinary team assessment and feedback tool (named MDT-FIT) that won QiC Oncology Digital Innovation of the Year in 2016.  I am currently working with Surrey and Sussex Cancer Alliance to support and evaluate improvements to multidisciplinary team meetings across three tumour pathways.
