I am a director of research and enterprise in the School of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Wolverhampton where I manage a team of researchers who carry out studies into health and social care improvement. A key focus of this work involves projects which aim to reduce health inequalities and improve health and social care services to benefit the diverse communities and workforce within society.
Additionally I have been an advisor to government departments nationally and internationally around ethnicity and health, sexual health and nursing professional development. Part of my role is to encourage researchers to meaningfully involve marginalised groups and communities in their research and I have a particular interest in developing capacity and capability in user-led research.
