Hollie is a Senior Research Fellow working across three innovate programmes: Born in Bradford, Bradford Health Determinants Research Collaboration and Equalise, the ESRC Centre for Lifecourse Health Equity. Hollie’s work focuses on identifying research priorities and opportunities for Born in Bradford data, particularly around early years education uptake and the impact of interventions within the early years.
Hollie previously worked as part of the Born and Bred in (BaBi) Network Team, where she used data from the BiB4All cohort to support local decision-making and supported the development of the Network. The studies within the BaBi network gain consent from women during their pregnancy to link data that is routinely collected about themselves and their child for research purposes.
Hollie’s PhD was also with Born in Bradford, where she explored how local decision-makers could be best supported to use linked data research and identified local evidence gaps around child and maternal health that could be addressed with data from the BaBi studies. Hollie has an undergraduate degree in Economics and Business Management, with industrial placement, from Newcastle University and an MSc in Health Economics from the University of York. Her research interests include child and maternal health, the use of routine data for research, and reducing inequalities.
