Justin is a Research Fellow in the Health Services Management Centre. He is an early career researcher working on a realist evaluation of partnering as a strategy for improvement in NHS providers with Dr. Ross Millar and other researchers and stakeholders. He recently completed his PhD at the School of Sport, Exercise, and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Birmingham, which investigated strategies to reduce sitting in older adults and other clinical populations. This included a systematic review, and delivery and evaluation of an intervention to older adults awaiting hip and knee replacement surgeries.

He is very interested in research to improve the quality of healthcare of patients and is open for potential collaborations so please do not hesitate to get in touch.
