She is a key contributor to developing nested process and qualitative studies for health policy and practice interventions related to the utilisation and demand for health services, managing mental health and long -term conditions, self -management support and social networks. She has published empirical, theoretical and methodological work including over 300 peer reviewed journal articles for clinical, sociological policy, public and practitioner audiences.

National Evaluation of Whole Systems Demonstrator Sites

A study of sense-making strategies and help-seeking behaviours associated with the use and provision of urgent care services

Urgent care reform has led to the development of multiple services (e.g. out-of-hours, walk-in centres, NHS 111) designed to improve access and manage rising service demand. Policy has sought to influence patient behaviour and choice of service in this complex urgent care landscape. Guiding patients to ‘get the right advice in the right place, first time', reducing unnecessary emergency department attendances by providing more responsive urgent care services, and providing better support for people to self-care has increasingly been the focus of national and local health policy. However, effective service provision requires a much deeper understanding of the factors that influence patients’ help-seeking and choices.
