Within my role as Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Research Fellow, I work simultaneously as a PPI Research Fellow for the Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research (AUKCAR) and Community Engagement and Involvement (CEI) Research Fellow for RESPIRE (NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Respiratory Health), a multi-partner research programme across seven Asian countries. My role includes a multitude of responsibilities, including facilitating meaningful involvement for people affected by asthma in all the AUKCAR’s research activities, and providing innovative training and guidance on Community Engagement and Involvement (CEI), specifically in relation to the context of healthcare in each RESPIRE country.

As the Research Fellow for both positions, I aim to ensure people with respiratory conditions are at the centre of all decision making in healthcare research.

Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research

Within AUKCAR, I help support researchers to incorporate meaningful PPI into their research applications and continued research once funded. I also work with the AUKCAR PPI group of UK-wide members to offer appropriate opportunities for members to take part and have their voices heard.

NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Respiratory Health (RESPIRE)

I work with RESPIRE partners (at all levels) to implement the RESPIRE Community Engagement and Involvement (CEI) strategy with the goal of increasing awareness of CEI and integrating CEI throughout the life-course of the research study cycle in RESPIRE partner countries, and develop a good understanding of CEI in the context of healthcare in each RESPIRE partner country.

I work with a range of different groups, including those with long-term health conditions and have relationships with research collaborators, partners (UK and internationally), funders, patient groups, public members, communities and the NHS.

About me

I completed my PhD in April 2023, within the University of Edinburgh’s Population and Health Sciences at the Usher Institute, and the Asthma UK Centre Applied Research. I am a Stage 2 Trainee Health Psychologist with the British Psychological Society, due for completion by November 2023.
