Overview

I joined the University of Exeter Medical School in September 2012. Since April 2020 I have primarily worked with the Exeter PRP Evidence Review Facility as an information specialist and systematic reviewer. My work involves carrying out systematic reviews and other types of evidence synthesis commissioned by the NIHR Policy Research Programme to inform health and social care policy in the UK. A summary of our current and past research projects can be found here. My PhD (by publication) explores the role of expert judgement when searching for studies for systematic reviews.

Qualifications

  • PhD Medical Studies (2023) University of Exeter
  • MSc Library and Information Studies (2009) City, University of London
  • MA Legal and Political Theory (2005) UCL, University of London
  • BA Social Policy and Politics (2004) Royal Holloway, University of London

Career

My first exposure to systematic reviews was at the University of Warwick where I worked as an information specialist for Warwick Evidence, mainly in the context of health technology assessment (2011-2012). I moved to the University of Exeter Medical School in 2012 where my first post was with PenARC (2012-2017, as an information specialist), followed by the Exeter HS&DR Evidence Synthesis Centre (2017-2020, in a hybrid information specialist/systematic reviewer role), before joining the Exeter PRP Evidence Review Facility in April 2020. Since starting my current role I have also been a co-investigator on an NIHR HTA funded systematic review on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of gynaecological surveillance for women with Lynch syndrome, and an NIHR HS&DR funded mixed methods review on the impact of interventions to improve recovery of older adults following planned hospital admission on quality of life following discharge. In recent years I have also been a co-investigator on several NIHR HS&DR grant funded realist reviews.
