Dr Sarah Damery is a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham's Department of Applied Health Sciences within the College of Medicine and Health, a position she has held since September 2008. Her work focuses on evaluating health and social care service delivery for chronic conditions through the West Midlands Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), where she leads Theme 1 initiatives. Previously, she contributed to cancer research and chronic disease projects within the West Midlands CLAHRC from 2014-2019.
Educational background:
- PhD in Geography, University of Cambridge, 2006
- MA in Geography, University of Cambridge, 2002
- BA(Hons) in Geography, University of Cambridge, 1999
Her research integrates mixed-methods approaches across diverse health domains including nephrology, cardiology, and sexual violence support services. Key interests encompass early diagnosis of chronic diseases, implementation of integrated care models, and organizational factors influencing service delivery. She specializes in combining quantitative analysis with qualitative insights to assess patient outcomes and service effectiveness, particularly in home-based care settings and voluntary sector collaborations.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals dominant themes in chronic disease management, with significant contributions to dialysis services research (examining organizational culture and geographical variation), technology-enabled cardiac rehabilitation, and sexual violence support systems. Her work consistently employs mixed-methods designs across nephrology, respiratory medicine, and public health domains, with growing emphasis on LGBT health education and voluntary sector service commissioning. A notable trend involves evaluating systemic changes in healthcare delivery through multidisciplinary partnerships.
Dr Damery actively collaborates on major grant-funded initiatives including the West Midlands ARC and PROSPER study, though specific grant details and student supervision records aren't publicly documented. Her work demonstrates consistent leadership in large-scale applied health research projects involving NHS partnerships and voluntary sector organizations.
She currently contributes to Theme 1 of the West Midlands ARC, focusing on integrated care for chronic conditions, and collaborates extensively with sexual violence support services through the PROSPER co-production study. Her research methodology emphasizes real-world implementation within complex healthcare systems through multidisciplinary teams spanning clinical, academic, and community sectors.
