Evaluation Specialist, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust; England

I am an Evaluation Specialist and the lead for community-based methods at Co-Lab, the Academy of Research & Improvement’s centre for evaluation, training and research for community-driven research and improvement. I work with communities, partners and organisations to facilitate community ownership of research and improvement through peer research. At Co-Lab we strive to make research accessible for all, we support people in our communities to research areas affecting them the most. Working in partnership with people, communities and organisations we try new methods for community-based research and improvement to improve community health and social care.
