Research area(s)
My main research areas are:
- Planetary health, particularly drug-resistant infections and antimicrobial stewardship,
- Health diplomacy and political astuteness related to antimicrobial resistance,
- Professional and societal responses to antimicrobial resistance.
Research Interests
My research interests include planetary determinants of infectious diseases and drug-resistant infections, including:
- The influence of the policy environment on antimicrobial stewardship interventions;
- The effect of health and social inequalities, including limited health literacy, on infection prevention behaviours;
- Development, implementation, and evaluation of innovative models of care and workforce roles in infection prevention and control and antimicrobial stewardship; and
- Societal engagement, co-design, and co-production of interventions focused on infections, antimicrobial stewardship, and vaccinations.
I am keen to explore multiple research methodologies, including mixed designs, as well as drawing from implementation science, intervention mapping, and realist paradigms.
