Research Fellow, School of Health Sciences

This project, which is funded by the National Institute for Health Research, is the first of its kind, has national reach and importance, and represents the collaboration of multiple stakeholders across the academic, clinical, charitable and policy sectors. After the sudden death of their child, families often do not have ready access to support and care, and professionals supporting families can be at risk for mental distress and lack support. This is the first study focusing on really understanding experiences, needs and outcomes for families; and will develop recommendations for robust bereavement support and care. The role will mainly involve qualitative and quantitative data analysis and writing for publication, and report writing for the funder. The project has tangible outcomes that the data analysis and publication is feeding into, including development of new national policy to deliver meaningful impact on the lives of families and actual change in the organisation and delivery of services.
