Biography

Anna has worked in libraries and information services in the academic, health, government and legal sectors in the UK, New Zealand and Ireland. Her career in health information began at Warwick Medical School in 2010, followed by 9 years in the NHS at University Hospital in Coventry. This role involved in-depth literature searching and identification of relevant evidence in response to queries raised by colleagues from across the NHS Trust, often working closely with clinical teams. Since returning to Warwick in 2019, she has specialised in systematic reviews and other evidence synthesis work and continues this focus at University of Birmingham.
