About me

My current research and educational interests are captured in the theme of health care quality improvement. My interest in improving health care quality has been built on a diverse clinical background in nursing, project management experience aiming to reduce error in clinical skills, and a co-ordinating role for safety, governance and risk within the NHS.

Research (1)

I am currently conducting a PhD by publication. My collections of studies are aiming to explore ways of measuring the patients' perspective of hospital quality of care which are fit for purpose. I have utilised a range of methods - integrative review, systematic review, retrospective care matched review and a cross sectional survey. I have used both qualitative and quantitative date, including psychometrics for instrument critique.
