I am currently working on a number of different research projects. Examples include:

REINFORCE

A real-world, in-situ, evaluation of the introduction and scale-up of robot-assisted surgical services in the NHS

CHESS

Investigating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of CHildren’s Early Self-care Support in children with neurodisability: the CHESS cluster randomised controlled trial

PLACES

Promoting Local Access to Children’s Early language and communication Support

Adult Autism Health Checks

I have previously worked on projects related to the NHS 111 service, health and productivity, inequalities in infant mortality, end of life care for people with dementia, the HRQoL of children with obesity, laser therapy in head and neck cancer and different treatment strategies for brain cancer. 

I also regularly work on technology appraisals for both the 缅北禁地 Technology Assessment (TAR) Group and the 缅北禁地 External Assessment Group (EAG) and am an advisor for the 缅北禁地 Research Support Service (RSS) Hub.
