Research

Research interests

My research interests focus on the over-arching question: What are the relationships between organisational structures, production processes and policy outcomes in the health sector, and in public sector and 'third sector' organisations more widely? I have conducted research in these topics in the UK and a number of other countries (including Germany, Italy, Sweden, Russia, USA). Current and recent research projects include:* Commissioning, Co-commissioning and Being Commissioned; the NHS and Third Sector Organisations
* The Patient Safety Collaboration Evaluation Study (PiSCES Study)
* From Programme Theory to Logic Models for Multispecialty Community Providers: A Realist Evidence Synthesis
* Integration and Continuity in Primary Care: Polyclinics and Alternatives, for NIHR Health Services and Delivery R&D Programme
* NHS Commissioning Practice and Health System Governance, for NIHR Health Services and Delivery R&D Programme
* The management and effectiveness of professional and clinical networks, for NHS Service Delivery and Organisation R&D Programme
* Factors associated with clinical focus in NHS Trust Boards. Burdett Trust
* Evaluation of the service network for infant mental health services. Plymouth Primary Care Trust
* Continuity of care for offenders, for NHS Service Delivery and Organisation R&D Programme
* Evaluation of four programmes for preventing hospital admissions of frail elderly people under the National Innovation Forum, for Cornwall County Council
* Evaluation of redesign of services for vulnerable older people (The Evercare Project), for [English] Department of Health
* Organisational Form and Function: An Analysis of the Literature, for NHS Service Delivery and Organisation R&D Programme
