Background

About Amanda Seims

I have extensive research and evaluation experience through projects in the areas of men’s health, diabetes, cancer and physical activity, working with local government, NHS and voluntary sector organisations. My mixed-method skillset includes the design, implementation and analysis of survey, focus group, and interview data from professional and public stakeholders, and the analysis of clinical routine data. This has been applied to explore acceptability, feasibility, and outcomes of interventions and services, incorporating acceptability, behaviour change and implementation frameworks. Within my role at Lancaster University I provide capacity and expertise to deliver evaluation, collaborate with academics across the university who are interested in undertaking evaluation with external partners, and support academic colleagues with their evaluation projects. Acting as a critical friend, I can also help to embed and strengthen evaluation within business cases and research funding bids. My research interests include the impact of greenspace development and active travel on physical activity, health and wellbeing.
