My research focuses on health services research, and the development, evaluation and implementation of health interventions. I'm located within the Musculoskeletal Research Unit in the Bristol Medical School, Translational Health Sciences, University of Bristol. I lead the unit's Qualitative Musculoskeletal Research Group, which conducts qualitative research in orthopaedic surgery and rheumatology.

My research interests include:

Orthopaedic surgery and the management of adverse outcomes

Osteoarthritis

Chronic musculoskeletal pain

Physical activity

Enviroment, health and wellbeing.

I work also collaboratively with teams across the University of Bristol including obstetrics safety, respiratory and vascular medicine. I supervise a number of NIHR doctoral fellowships, PhD and MD students.

I am Deputy Director for the Bristol Medical School Short Course Programme; Co-director of the Bristol Bone and Joints Health Integration Team; a Member of Versus Arthritis' Research Expert Committee; and Chair of the Bone and Joint Infection Society's Research Committee.
