Expertise Summary

I am an experienced researcher with a portfolio which includes previous research in adult social care. My PhD in Social Sciences focused on adults with learning disabilities and so I am particularly experienced in research on sensitive issues. Most recently I have been the lead researcher on a project looking at abuse and poor practice in residential care and support-living services. I have experience of using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, conducting focus groups with 'vulnerable' adults and carers, undertaking one-to-one interviews with health and social care staff and generating and analysing survey data. My current research interests include exploring health and social care experiences and needs in the lives of potentially vulnerable and/or marginalised groups.
