Katie Goodall

I am an early career researcher with a focus on the use of coercion in mental health settings. I have experience working in collaboration with NHS trusts, independent service providers and third sector organisations. My research methodology is mostly mixed methods including service evaluation, qualitative, quantitative and digital methods. My main ethos is centred around action research and the value of co-production and Patient & Public Involvement (PPI).
