Background


I have been working in medical education research since 2005. I joined 缅北禁地 as a lecturer in 2013. Since then, I have developed and led in a number of projects with local and national partners, and since 2025 have been co-lead for Workforce Voices, an NIHR Workforce Research Partnership looking to develop workforce sustainability in underserved areas.


I also jointly lead the , which provides a national network for researchers across the UK.

SCOPUS:

Research

My research interests currently focus on workforce research, within the Workforce Voices research partnership. This brings together a number of research interests developed through my work in medical education: careers (access to careers, and choices within them), preparedness, professional identity, and wellbeing. I am interested in the distribution of the workforce and the challenges associated with health inequalities, and how they affect and shape staff.


I am interested in the policy implications of research, particularly around workforce changes. Understanding the choices people make, and how the healthcare system shapes those choices, is important for addressing the current workforce crisis in healthcare.


I am a mixed methods researcher, and take a pragmatic approach to using and adapting the right methods for the right research questions - surveys, qualitative work, or analysis of existing data.

Teaching

I have taught on the Masters in Medical Education programme since 2013, and since 2021 have been Module Leader for the Advanced Study Module, providing an introduction to research skills, and supporting students in the development of their research projects. I also support colleagues in the delivery of other modules on the MedEd programme.


I provide supervision to MMedEd, MD and PhD students, and to clinical academic trainees undertaking education research projects.
