Dr Claire Marsh has a PhD in action research as a strategy for organizational change in the NHS. She has a dual role within Bradford Institute for Health Research – working as Patient and Public Engagement Lead for the Yorkshire and Humber Improvement Academy, and Senior Research Fellow on YQSR Group projects related to patient involvement in safety and patient experience.
Claire’s key roles currently include:
- Developing resources, support and training for frontline healthcare teams across Yorkshire and Humber to include the voices of patients/carers within their improvement
- Supporting a lay person advisory panel for the Improvement Academy and YQSR Group
- Developing a lay person network for health service improvement across the Yorkshire and Humber region
Claire recently co-led an NIHR-funded action research project in ‘use and usefulness of patient experience feedback’, and from this developed the Yorkshire Patient Experience Toolkit. Claire is now developing a coaches’ network to support Trusts to work with this Toolkit in Yorkshire and Humber.
