Biography

Amy has built a pioneering and distinct area of scholarship in Implementation Science and Health Technology Assessment. Her interdisciplinary contribution across clinical and organisational science is unique.

In organisational science, her independent contribution to theory and methodological development in the field is achieved via her three personal NIHR Fellowships, which explore the implementation of evidence-based interventions in surgery (2013-2025). As a Chartered Psychologist, she spearheads a programme of research on Implementation Science in surgery.

In clinical science, she specialises in evaluating health technologies (e.g., drugs, medical devices) and public health interventions for policymakers, with expertise in mixed method study design and synthesis. She has an outstanding record of successful funding applications in this space to generate scientific, methodological, and theoretical contributions.

Through her research and education, she brings cutting-edge social science theory into the clinical arena, delivering innovative, inclusive, and intellectually challenging education programmes to develop the next generation of healthcare leaders
