AREAS OF INTEREST
Research
My area of focus is on improving care coordination across health professions, sectors, and stages
4

of the lifespan through the development of health policy and management frameworks that promote interprofessional, person and family-centred care, with applications in mental health and primary health care. I derive theoretical approaches from interdisciplinary training in health policy analysis, health economics and health research methods. My research frequently adopts participatory approaches to involve policy-advisors, health system managers and other stakeholders to facilitate knowledge exchange, build common ground and support implementation.
