Sarah Greenley is a Research Fellow (Information Specialist) at the University of Hull's Faculty of Health Sciences and Hull York Medical School. She is affiliated with the Institute for Clinical and Applied Health Research (ICAHR) and contributes to major national initiatives including the NIHR Policy Research Unit for Palliative and End of Life Care and the NIHR Health Determinants Research Collaboration North Yorkshire. Her work focuses on evidence synthesis methodology and clinical research support.
Greenley holds a BA and MSc from Leeds Metropolitan University, having qualified as an information professional. Her career began supporting pre-registration nursing curriculum at City University, followed by roles at the British Medical Journal's Evidence Centre and InferMed Ltd (later part of Elsevier Clinical Solutions) before joining the University of Hull in 2018 as part of the Yorkshire Cancer Research funded TRANSFORM programme.
Her research interests center on designing and validating search filters for specific study designs, researching best practices in information retrieval for evidence summaries, and investigating cancer inequalities. Greenley specializes in systematic review methodology and has contributed to numerous clinical guidelines. Her work bridges information science with clinical research, particularly in palliative care, cancer care, and health inequalities, where she applies expertise in complex search strategy development and critical appraisal.
Analysis of Greenley's publication record reveals a strong focus on systematic reviews addressing methodological challenges while producing clinically relevant findings in palliative care, cancer care, and health inequalities. A notable trend is her increasing involvement in interdisciplinary collaborations across oncology, respiratory medicine, and healthcare policy, with particular attention to vulnerable populations and healthcare disparities across multiple medical conditions.
While specific scientific awards are not prominently documented, Greenley's contributions are evident through her substantial publication record and involvement in major national research initiatives. Her work with the European Respiratory Society on clinical practice guidelines for palliative care represents a significant professional achievement within her field.
Greenley collaborates extensively across multiple projects including the NIHR Policy Research Unit for Palliative and End of Life Care and the NIHR Health Determinants Research Collaboration North Yorkshire. She has co-authored over 25 published reviews since joining the University of Hull in 2018. Her grant-funded work primarily focuses on evidence synthesis projects within the TRANSFORM programme, with funding from Yorkshire Cancer Research and NIHR.
Greenley is actively involved with the Wolfson Palliative Care Research Group and contributes to the Centre for Clinical Sciences at Hull York Medical School. Her work supports the development of systematic reviews, international guidelines, and other evidence summaries that inform clinical practice. She collaborates with multidisciplinary teams including clinicians, researchers, and healthcare policymakers to translate evidence into practice, particularly in the areas of cancer care and palliative medicine.
