Jill has a first degree in Social Policy from Cardiff and an MSc in Information Technology from Queen Mary. She has a broad background in health policy research and evaluation from a variety of research and evaluation posts in academic, local government and voluntary sector organisations, including the Institute of Education, Cardiff University, the London Research Centre, and Charities Evaluation Services. In 2000 Jill was appointed to the UCL Open Learning Unit, working with Trisha Greenhalgh to develop an online MSc in International Primary Health Care. She has developed a particular interest in e-learning and from 2005-9 was a Distance Education Fellow at the University of London Centre for Distance Education. She moved from UCL to join the Healthcare Innovation and Policy Unit at Queen Mary in 2011.
Jill’s current research interests include qualitative evaluation methodologies, linguistic ethnography and discourse analysis of the health care rationing debate. She is currently engaged in an NIHR Research for Patient Benefit funded project exploring the so called ‘postcode lottery’ in funding of NHS treatments, and is undertaking a PhD on rationality, judgement and rationing, supervised by Clive Seale and Trisha Greenhalgh.
