Mildred Blaxter Fellow in Health Behaviours

  • Senior qualitative researcher
  • Fulford JRF, Somerville College

I am a medical anthropologist specialising in qualitative research methods, particularly conversation analysis. I am interested in using qualitative methods to explore how healthcare is delivered in practice, and to inform service improvements.

Research

My research mostly focuses on understanding relationships between clinical communication and behaviour change, including weight loss, smoking cessation, and treatment adherence. I currently hold both a Mildred Blaxter Fellowship, from the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness, and a Fulford JRF at Somerville College to explore communication about weight loss in primary care. 

I am qualitative research lead for the Health behaviours Research Group, and design and lead research using a range of qualitative methods to better understand behaviour change in clinical settings, clinical trial processes, and implementation.

My research has contributed to national guidelines, and I have advised government and policy makers. I am a member of the NICE Adoption and Impact Reference Panel. In 2022 I was the Society for Academic Primary Care (SAPC) Principal Investigator of the Year.
