I am a pharmacist, scientist and global health researcher with over 20 years of experience spanning pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacy practice, health research and international programme delivery. My work focuses on generating and applying evidence to strengthen health systems, improve healthcare and inform policy and practice. I specialise in practical implementation research, monitoring, evaluation, research and learning, using quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods approaches to understand not only whether interventions work, but how, for whom and in what contexts. As Research Lead at the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association, I lead research and evidence generation for international health programmes delivered through multidisciplinary partnerships across academia, healthcare, governments and professional organisations worldwide. My work has supported initiatives in antimicrobial resistance and stewardship, pharmacy workforce development, digital health and health systems strengthening across more than 20 countries. I also contribute to research strategy, collaborative grant development and securing funding for research, innovation and capacity strengthening. I have contributed to securing over £20 million in research, education and global health programme funding. I am passionate about translating evidence into policy and practice, strengthening research capacity and fostering equitable collaboration and shared learning across countries and disciplines.
