Dr Amy Johnson is a professional early career researcher with experience completing mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) research projects. She completed her PhD in Social Work in 2020. Underpinned by a Critical Realist perspective (informed by complexity theory), this PhD developed a framework for the construction and evaluation of a web-based intervention for carers of individuals with schizophrenia and a psychosis disorder. 

Following this, Dr Johnson has worked as Senior Research Assistant on research projects focusing on improving hydration levels and the Quality of Life (QoL) of care home residents with dementia. She has also assisted in developing research projects within Children and Young People Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT), in particular EMHPs and a parent/carer support group. Presently, Dr Johnson is working within the Military Hub for Veteran and Families' Research on projects focusing on loneliness and social isolation experienced by military widows.
