Community Health and Care Services focusses on the improvement of services in the community, including services in statutory health and social care, primary care, third sector and independent sector. I have developed a particular interest in integration, family resilience and most recently in social prescribing www.wsspr.wales . This originates from my years of working in health and social care services prior to my academic career.

I am a registered nurse (adults) and chair of Age Cymru Gwent board of trustees.

I hold a number of leadership roles including:

• Associate Director of PRIME Centre Wales leading the team at the University of South Wales and our work package ‘Care closer to Communities’.
• Director of the Wales School for Social Prescribing Research (WSSPR).
