Services
I offer a range of freelance services to support evidence synthesis needs, primarily as expert advice, but also for the conduct of discrete evidence synthesis projects or tasks.
Methods Advice
I provide support to those wanting develop evidence synthesis pipelines or establish synthesis procedures within new or existing research systems. This can include advice on guidance and best practices in evidence synthesis, or on integrating synthesis methods, tools and frameworks within existing research systems. I also provide advice on hosting hackathons and free virtual conferences.

I provide a range of group and one-on-one training both online and in person. Current courses include:

Fill in this expression of interest form if you're interested in joining an existing planned workshop online, or email me to make an enquiry about a commissioned/private workshop.
Review conduct
I have been involved in the conduct of approximately 50 evidence syntheses, providing methodological advice and mentoring, and also managing, leading, and contribution to core review activities including stakeholder engagement, planning, protocol development, searching, eligibility screening, data extraction and coding, critical appraisal of validity (risk of bias assessments), narrative, quantitative (meta-analysis) and qualitative synthesis, data visualisation, report writing, and communications (including website and data platform design). I can provide any of these services as individual or collective tasks for your review project, and can help to source highly skilled colleagues for tasks requiring additional support.
