Background
I am a Quantitative Research Fellow in the primary care and multimorbidity research group at the Centre for Population Health Sciences where I am responsible for conducting the quantitative elements of the Transforming primary care in Scotland and China project (https://www.ed.ac.uk/usher/primary-care-multimorbidity/projects/transforming-primary-care-in-scotland-and-china). I am also a registered nurse.
My research experience is in analysis of large cross-sectoral administrative data and, as part of my PhD, lead the first national linkage of health and social care data sources in the UK. I continued to analyse this data as part of my previous role with the Scottish Centre for Adiminstrative Data Research. My research interests are in multimorbidity and health inequalities with a particular focus on access to health and social care services.
My clinical experience is in acute medicine, including critical care, and NHS24 unscheduled care/telephone triage. in 2012 I was awarded an Early Career Clinical Fellowship by NHS Education for Scotland. As part of this fellowship I completed a Masters in Health Research from the University of Stirling.
Prior to my nursing and research careers I had careers in HM Forces and TV & Film Drama production.
