Jennie joined YTU in 2023, while completing her PhD titled “Utility of quantitative methods for intersectionality: a real-world example using the Born in Bradford’s Better Start (BiBBS) cohort dataset.”
She is now a Research Fellow, leading the Horizon Scanning workstream as part of the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Research Support Service (RSS) National Collaborative. This work focuses on identifying and anticipating developments relating to research methods, to inform the work of the RSS and to provide guidance and intelligence across its wider networks.
Alongside this, Jennie works on the PROLLIT study, aimed at improving outcome measurement for patients having lower-limb reconstructive surgery. She has also provided analytical support for projects in the wider department.
Prior to starting her PhD, Jennie worked in the Mental Health and Additions Research Group (MHARG) as a trial support officer and then research fellow. During this time, she worked on quantitative and qualitative studies within the DIAMONDS research programme, exploring the experiences of people living with diabetes and severe mental illness (SMI).
