Before becoming a researcher, Emma qualified as a doctor and undertook postgraduate training in tropical medicine and in primary care, working in the UK and overseas as a clinician. She subsequently trained in public health and also completed a doctorate at the University of Oxford.
Her research now focuses on the health of marginalized groups, particularly the health of people in contact with the criminal justice system and the health of migrants. She is currently involved in a number of research studies investigating communicable and non-communicable diseases in prisons in the UK and internationally. Her work has a particular focus on the health of women and the meaningful involvement of marginalised groups in research.
