I am a Senior Lecturer in the Innovation and Enterprise subject group in NUBS, Newcastle University and a founder member of KITE in 2006 joining via it's predecessor the Centre for Social and Business Informatics (SBI) from 2003. I was Deputy/Co-Director of KITE between 2007-10 leading the social informatics/public service innovation strand of activity. Prior to this I worked as a Contract Researcher for ten years at Newcastle University including stints in Centre for Software Reliability, CURDS and a seven year period the Medical School in health informatics between 95-02.
My broad research interests are in the use of information and information systems in partnership working and inter-organisational relationships in the context of education (including HE), health and social care.

My work in the centre is increasingly focussed on the challenges of information and social value/measurement in local governance (the VCS/Third sector and local authorities/health services) and the roles and responsibilities in networks of care around the personalisation of aspects of care for older people (including assistive living and assistive technologies) including the role of social enterprise.
Current projects include a role as a co-investigator on SALT a TSB/ESRC/NIHR funded project part of the Assistive Living programme of work led by Prof Feng Li of NUBS and an ARC project comparing implementations of Electronic Health Records in England and Australia with colleagues from Monash and Woollongong.
