Teams and roles for Hannah Williams
Research Associate
Overview
I am a Research Associate within the School of Healthcare Sciences. My work focuses on workforce issues in healthcare, such as recruitment and retention, and the introduction of new roles.
I completed my PhD within the Management, Employment and Organisation section of Cardiff Business School. My PhD research focused on co-production efforts in Welsh health and social care. Alongside my PhD, I worked as a Research Assistant on COGOV (Co Production and Co Governance: Strategic Management, Public Value and Co Creation in the Renewal of Public Agencies across Europe); an EU-funded project, in partnership with other UK and EU universities and institutions. I have also worked as a seminar leader for undergraduate students and have assisted teaching and delivered sessions for postgraduate students.
