Nadia Bashir BA (Hons), MA
Research Fellow
Summary
Nadia has more than 10 years of experience in qualitative research and specialises in engaging participants from vulnerable and hard-to-reach groups, including young people with multiple and complex needs, isolated older people, and people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds. She has expertise in research methods, which help these hard-to-reach participants overcome barriers to communication such as language, speech, hearing difficulties etc. Previous work for the voluntary and community sector (VCS) has led to a particular interest in asset-based approaches to health and social care and researching the impact of delivering public and VCS health and social care interventions.
