Overview
Hi I'm Sean a Research Fellow with the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration South West Penninsula (PenARC) based in the PenCHORD operational research team. My role within the PenCHORD team is to apply operational research methods to help with the understanding and improvement of healthcare service provision. The majority of my work is focused in the area of mental health service provision and I lead this area of research for PenCHORD. Currently I am working on network-based whole system modelling of mental health services.

Research interests
My research interests centre the development and application of data science approaches for improving mental health service provision. This includes developing tailored analytics for mental health service operational and strategic monitoring and improvement. I also have an interest in behavioural operational research and human system modelling.
