Maxine Kuczawski

I am a Research Fellow in Health Services Research with over 20 years of experience. Based at the Centre for Urgent and Emergency Care Research (CURE) at the University of Sheffield, I am also a PhD student on the 1+3 White Rose Doctoral Training Pathway (Health and Wellbeing) in the Department of Sociological Studies. My doctoral research explores the mental health of young people in the UK through an intersectional lens.

With a background in epidemiology, I have managed and contributed to numerous research projects and health service evaluations, including patient-reported outcome measures for hip and knee surgery, anticoagulation management in emergency departments, large-scale patient data linkage, and virtual wards (hospital at home). I have expertise in both qualitative and quantitative research methods, with a particular interest in mixed-methods research, young people’s health, and the social determinants of health.
