Dr Amy O’Donnell is a Senior Lecturer at the Population Health Sciences Institute, Newcastle University. Recently awarded a NIHR Advanced Fellowship, her work focusses on using implementation science and complex systems approaches to improve the translation of evidence-based interventions into health and social care practices. She is a mixed-methods researcher, with specific expertise in advanced qualitative methods, analysis of routine/survey datasets, and qualitative evidence synthesis techniques. Alongside her Advanced Fellowship, she is Co-investigator and Implementation Lead on several NIHR-funded evaluations of new models of care in the substance use and mental health fields, including the £1.7m NIHR Health and Social Care Delivery Research-funded Alcohol Care Teams evaluation, and part of a Newcastle University collaboration with the University of Edinburgh’s Advanced Care Research Centre (funded by Legal & General). Previously, she held a NIHR School for Primary Care Research Post-doctoral Fellowship, a Newcastle University Medical Faculty Fellowship and a Visiting Implementation Science Fellowship at Linkoping University, Sweden. She was one of only two Newcastle University academics to be named in the Knowledge Mobilisation/Implementation Science theme of the successful NIHR Applied Research Collaboration: North East and North Cumbria application. She has published over 70 papers to date, has been awarded £7.2m in grant income, and is an Associate Editor for the journals Alcohol & Alcoholism. Amy has supervised four Masters dissertations and one PhD to completion, and is currently supervising one MPhil and four other PhD students. She will provide accessible implementation science expertise, qualitative methods support, and the insights of someone with recent experience of doctoral study
