Jon's research centres around understanding the theory and practice of multi-stakeholder engagement in the co-creation of new knowledge.  This includes exploring best practices and developing evidence around strategies and mechanisms for effective partnership building between researchers and those most impacted by research. These can include, patients, community members and organisations, policy makers, managers and clinical practitioners. Jon addresses these goals through systematic reviews, realist evaluation, social network analysis, among other methodological approaches.

My teaching focuses on the areas of Participatory Health Research, Public and; Patient Involvement, and Knowledge Translation / Implementation Science. I am the Course Director for the Professional Diploma in Public and; Patient Involvement in Health Research, School of Medicine.
