Implementation and intervention science
Why good help fails.
I study the gap between what a health intervention proves in a trial and what survives in a service. Professor of Behavioural and Implementation Sciences at City St George's, University of London.
Most of my work sits between two questions: what is the causal mechanism behind a health intervention, and why does the mechanism fail when the intervention reaches a service. I build methods that force those questions to be answered before a trial is designed, and I work with clinical teams on studies that carry the answer into practice.
