Research interests
I am a qualitative methodologist and Senior Lecturer in Qualitative Health Science applied to Randomised Controlled Trials. My current research interests include optimising recruiter communication and patient understanding for informed consent during trial recruitment; optimising screening and consent processes for groups that are traditionally underserved in trials; investigating experiences of trial participation; the communication of trial findings to patients, clinicians and policy makers; and patient experiences of receiving active monitoring/surveillance, surgery and radiotherapy treatments for localised prostate cancer. I am a member of the University of Bristol QuinteT team of researchers, which pioneers qualitative approaches to optimise recruitment and informed consent to randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
