Joanna Crocker

MBiochem (Oxon), PhD

Senior Researcher

  • Senior Researcher in Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement, NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (part-time)

My research focuses on patient, public and community involvement to address health and social inequalities. I also have a particular interest in policy and multi-stakeholder engagement, mixed methods (combining qualitative and quantitative research) and secondary data analysis.

I am currently leading a participatory evaluation of the Oxford BRC's Diversity in Research Group, and supporting Refugee Resource to conduct peer research as part of the University's Science Together programme. I held an OPEN Fellowship in 2024, partnering with Oxfordshire County Council to support development of the Oxfordshire Community Research Network.

I recently led a project to map and analyse research priorities identified by James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnerships (patients, carers and clinicians) across the UK and internationally. As part of this project we identified cross-cutting themes and developed an interactive tool to help users explore these.

Previously, I led a systematic review of the impact of PPI on recruitment and retention of participants in clinical trials, and the PIRRIST project, which developed a tool to enhance PPI and patient participation in surgical trials.

I am involved in teaching for the MSc in Translational Health Sciences, the MSc in Evidence Based Health Care and DPhil supervision.

Prior to joining the department, I completed a Masters in Biochemistry at the University of Oxford and a PhD in Primary Care and Public Health at Cardiff University, and carried out post-doctoral research at the UCL Institute of Child Health.
