Biography

I am a Research Fellow based in ACE (Aberdeen Centre for Evaluation), formerly known as the Health Services Research Unit. I started this role in February 2024 when awarded the Elizabeth Russell Fellowship. This was an 18-month fellowship which enabled me to write papers for publication and seek further research funding building on the findings of my PhD. Since the fellowship, I have been working on various projects at ACE. This includes a small project exploring the use of feedback in catering services, which I was lead applicant for (starting August 2025).

I first joined the Centre in October 2019 to do my PhD which was looking at how Care Opinion and online patient feedback was used for Quality Improvement in NHS Scotland. This project involved working with Care Opinion, policy makers, NHS staff and patients and was funded by The Healthcare Improvement Studies (THIS) Institute. The PhD was supervised by Prof Louise Locock (University of Aberdeen), Dr Zoe Skea (University of Aberdeen) and Prof Marion Campbell (University of Aberdeen).

Before joining the unit, I previously worked in NHS Research and Development and Public Involvement.
