Personal profile
Research interests
I am a mixed-method health services researcher specialising in the development and evaluation of complex interventions. I conduct co-produced collaborative research on the primary care response to domestic abuse.
I am CI on the IRIS+ trial, a cluster-randomised controlled trial testing the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the IRIS+ domestic abuse general practice training and advocacy support intervention. More recently, I was PI on the NIHR PGfAR funded IRIS+ Study (part of the REPROVIDE programme) working on the development and feasibility testing of IRIS+. I was co-I on the recently completed MRC/UKRI funded PRECODE (PRimary care rEsponse to domestic violence and abuse in the COvid-19 panDEmic) Study and on the YARAH (Young Adult Relationships and Health) Study looking at determinants of and associations between experience of intimate partner violence and abuse in young adulthood and health.
I am based at the Centre for Academic Primary Care at the Bristol Medical School and I am funding member of the BRIGHT (Bristol Research on the Intersection of Gender, Health, and Trauma) Group.
