I am a member of the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Health and Social Care Systems and Commissioning (PRUComm), a unit which provides evidence to the Department of Health to inform the development of policy on the health and social care system and commissioning. I am the co-lead of an NIHR study 'Post Implementation Review of the Health and Care Act 2022', involving academics at LSHTM, University of Manchester and University of Kent, which examines the development of collaboration in ICSs and associated impacts under the Act.

My work as part of PRUComm has most recently focused on the development of new forms of organisational collaboration in local health areas in the NHS through Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). Previous research examined the implementation of new models of contracting in the NHS, such as Alliance contracting, which are thought to develop closer collaboration between organisations.
