Biography
Sarah is a Research Fellow in the Aberdeen Centre for Evaluation (ACE) where she works with Professor Shaun Treweek on a range of mixed-methods initiatives related to inclusion and health inequalities.
Some of Sarah’s projects include working with NHS Grampian and the Grampian Regional Equality Council to better understand the uptake of cancer screening services, developing curriculum for Inclusive Clinical Trials: Training and Education to Increase Involvement of Under-Served Groups (SENSITISE), and investigating how new approaches to pre-funding peer review could improve clinical trial importance, design, feasibility, integrity and reporting (INFORM).
She previously worked on the Innovations in Clinical Trial Design and Delivery for the Under-served (INCLUDE) project with the National Institute for Health and Care Research. You can also find her as an occasional contributor to Trial Forge, which features the INCLUDE project as a key part of its research outputs.
Sarah is a Chartered Librarian (MCLIP) with the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) and currently acts as an assessor on the CILIP Professional Registration Panel. She strongly believes that libraries and information science play a vital role in ensuring that knowledge is made accessible and meaningful in a world overflowing with data.
Through 2025, Sarah is on a partial secondment with the Civil Service in the DWP Central Analysis and Science Strategy Unit.
