I am a health services researcher with an interest in improving the health and wellbeing of people living with chronic musculoskeletal conditions. I conduct research that spans the translational pathway and impacts on patient care through informing NICE guidance and changing NHS practice. My research aims to improve patients’ outcomes and experiences of interventions for musculoskeletal pain, with a particular focus on evaluating interventions to optimise outcomes after orthopaedic surgery, such as hip and knee replacement. I am committed to ensuring that health research is inclusive, through involvement of patients and communities in all stages of the research process.
