Alex Harrison

Throughout my education I have developed a high-level of proficiency in conducting, reviewing and disseminating research. My present roles include two Cardiac Rehabilitation focused roles and a researcher and statistician role on a climate change perception study funded by the NIHR Public Health Policy Research Unit.

I studied for my Masters degree in 2014 at the University of York, Department of Health Sciences, where I conducted my thesis on Cardiac Rehabilitation and Volume and Outcomes. Since the publication of a revised version of this project I have proceeded to publish over 20 peer reviewed publications, mainly in the Cardiac Rehabilitation field.

While working in the University, I have been actively involved in the departments academic citizenship role. This includes work I assisted on for the Athena Swan submission, resulting in my ‘Making a difference award’. I have also supervised to completion numerous MScs, supervised an Erasmus student whose visit resulted in a publication, two F2s from HYMS each with a publication and a Masters by thesis student.
I have also been extensively involved with four PhDs who have completed and an MD who completed in 2020. I am presently a co-supervisor to a 3^rd year PhD Student.

My main area of research is focused in Qualitative observational research; however, I have been involved in two published systematic reviews and also conducted searches for my Masters and PhD thesis. I am also presently involved, in a PhD supervisory capacity, to the REACH-HF work.

Continuing my education since 2014, I have achieved accredited researcher status through the ONS, attended the HES training course hosted by the Centre for Health Economics at York and also have attended internal MSc modules to advance my research skills.

In 2020 I submitted and passed my PhD. This piece of work was the culmination of many years of research in the field of Cardiac Rehabilitation and the skills and lessons learnt will improve the adoption of my observational studies.
