I am an experienced chartered psychologist and applied health and social care researcher, specialising in public health. I am committed to translational research and work closely with policy and practice partners in the NHS, local and regional government and other public and voluntary organisations to facilitate evidence-informed practice and policy. My research on alcohol screening and brief intervention is nationally and internationally recognised and I have significant methodological expertise in the development (through systematic reviews) and evaluation of complex interventions, using natural experiments, feasibility studies, pilot and full trials. I am also a member of Fuse, the centre for translational research in public health, the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration North East and North Cumbria, the NIHR School for Public Health Research, and the Making Every Contact Count Research Group
My research focusses on the development and evaluation of complex public health interventions using a variety of methods including systematic reviews, natural experiments, feasibility studies, pilot and full trials as well as qualitative methods. My research has examined interventions for making every contact count, alcohol, smoking, exercise, diet, welfare, and sleep.
