Current Research
My research interests focus on parental emergency department attendance for common childhood illnesses. My expertise lies in 1) elicting parental and carer perspectives on their emergency department attendance prior to medical consultation and 2) comparative and predictive work with parents of emergency department attenders and an equitable group using primary and/or urgent care services. The majority of sick children attending emergency care need to be seen by a emergency care professional, however children should be cared for at home when ever possible. Currently, my work surrounds parental decision making when seeking care for childhood gastro-intestinal complaints. The developmental stage of this latest work is funded by a NIHR Research Design Service-East Midlands Award for User Involvement. This work is being conducted within the Children's Emergency Department, Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham.
The findings of my work have impact by informing national policy and develop parent-centred services within the emergency care environment and urgent care network.
My methodological expertise includes survey design and administration, case-control studies, multivariate analysis (logistic regression), systematic review of non randomized studies and also qualitative interview methods.
I am a member of the Child, Maternal and Sexual Health Research Group (CMSHRG), Paediatric A&E Research Group (PAERG) and member of the Paediatric Research Society amongst others.
I am a member of the cross-faculty Children and Childhood Network (CCN) which is supported by the Centre for Advanced Studies, University of Nottingham. Please see http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/children-and-childhood-network/index.aspx
I am Acting Chair of the Nottingham Children's Hospital Nursing Research and Innovation Forum, Nottingham University Hospitals Trust.

Past Research
For several years I worked in the Paediatric Accident and Emergency Research Group (PAERG) based at University of Nottingham. My doctoral studies identified the determinants of parental emergency care attendance with sick children, supervised by Professor Terence Stephenson, now President of Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH).
I have been involved in guideline development for children attending emergency departments as a member of the guideline development committee and research steering committee via my membership of PAERG. See my publications as co-author for emergency care guidelines on children with seizure, diarrheoa and breathing difficulties and related papers.
I have developed a method to assess inter-rater reliability of qualitative interview data collected in children's emergency care which does not affect the richness of the data (published in JAN 2001)
