My interest in improvement science has been influenced by my diverse background in nursing and healthcare. Specifically, I am interested in improving outcomes and experiences of people engaging in health services, with a particular focus on using the patient/public voice to improve services. I am also interested in the remote and rural workforce and access to health services. I have expertise and experience in conducting systematic reviews, and qualitative and quantitative research methods.
