Short bio

I am a research fellow at the Usher Institute at the University of Edinburgh and a registered nurse. My research experience includes analysis of large, linked administrative health and social care data in Scotland. My nursing experience includes care homes, acute medicine and medical high dependency.

Research interests

I am interested in multimorbidity and health inequalities – particularly with regard to access to health and care services. I have good knowledge of the strengths, weaknesses and availability of social care data in Scotland in particular, and the UK more generally.

Research projects on COVID and Long-Term Care

Mortality associated with COVID-19 in care homes: international evidence

COVID-19 mortality and long-term care: a UK comparison

COVID-19 and mortality in Scotland’s long term care system

Characteristics of dying from COVID-19 and place-of-death in the entire Scottish population aged 65 years and over during the first-wave of the 2020 pandemic. (forthcoming).
