I am a social scientist with clinical training. I draw on sociology of health and illness, and implementation science. I have experience in theory-guided evaluations, interactions between evidence, policy and practice, and co-productive approaches to research. These interests developed through my service improvement activities as a rehabilitation physician in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. In 2019, I completed a Professional Doctorate alongside my clinical work, addressing a policy and practice gap in conceptualisations of support for self-management. Since my transition into academia, I have held posts at the at the University of Oxford and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine before moving to Northumbria University as a Vice Chancellor's Fellow in Community Wellbeing, in 2024.
I work clinically with the NGO Medical Justice, and I am a member of the Royal College of Psychiatry Working Group on the Health of Asylum Seekers and Refugees. My research interests encompass health and wellbeing of sanctuary seekers, using participatory approaches.
I am an editorial board member with Sociological Research Online.
