My research interests are in health services research, intervention development, evaluation and implementation. I'm located within the Musculoskeletal Research Unit in the Bristol Medical School, Translational Health Sciences, University of Bristol. I lead the unit's Qualitative Musculoskeletal Research Group, which conducts qualitative research in orthopaedic surgery and rheumatology.

Currently I lead the NIHR funded INFORM:EP study (INFection and ORthopaedic Management: Evidence into Practice) which aims to implement the evidence from the recently completed NIHR-funded INFORM programme - a 6 year programme of research which aimed to improve the surgical treatment and management of infection after joint replacement.

I work collaboratively with teams across the University of Bristol including obstetrics safety, respiratory and vascular medicine. I supervise a number of NIHR doctoral fellowships, PhD and MD students.

My research interests include:

Orthopaedic surgery and adverse outcomes

Joint arthroplasty

Chronic musculoskeletal pain and osteoarthritis

Physical activity

Enviroment, health and wellbeing.

I'm a co-director of the Bristol Bone and Joints Health Integration Team, a member of the Bristol North Somerset & South Gloucestershire ICS MSK Programme committee and a member of the Versus Arthritis Research Expert Committee.
