Senior Research Data Analyst

Background
I joined YQSR in 2023 as a senior research data analyst within the Yorkshire and Humber National Institute for Health Research funded Patient Safety Research Collaboration centre (PSRC). I work across the PSRC, but primarily work within the Rethinking Safety Intelligence for Improvement theme leading data-driven projects aiming to develop equitable tools and resources to improve patient outcomes.
By background I am a research psychologist and data analyst, having received a MSc and PhD in heath psychology (University of Leeds, 2015 & 2018) and MSc in health data analytics (University College London, 2022).
My PhD work assessed the prevalence, detectability, and impact of pre-operative recreational substance use on post-operative outcomes – and potential strategies to help patients mitigate harm.
Post-PhD I was a research fellow in YQSR (2019-2022), leading a multi-hospital retrospective study assessing associations between emergency doctor decision-making, patient health outcomes, and healthcare resource use. I also provided statistical support for projects in the field of patient safety, including an MRC-funded project with clinical and commercial partners developing a device to prevent nasogastric tube-related ‘never events’.
In 2022 I joined the Institute of Rheumatic & Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Leeds. Here I provided statistical support and analysis for several large research projects. My personal projects primarily focused on the analysis of machine-learning derived osteoarthritis biomarkers from imaging data, primarily involving hierarchal (multilevel) frequentist and Bayesian generalised (non-)linear modelling.
