Biography
Rebecca joined the Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement team this year (2022) after completing her PhD in Health Economics at Swansea University. Her research centred on exploring key healthcare stakeholder perspectives on value in patient education and activation programmes in cancer care. She comes from an adult nursing background, and as such is passionate about making sure that the care provided to people is in keeping with their, and their family’s, values, believing in involving patients, the public and carers in the development of care. It was this drive to listen to, and act upon, the voice of healthcare service-users which led her to join the PenARC team.
