Helen Crocker is a Research Officer within the Health Services Research Unit. Helen joined the unit in 2009 to work on a study piloting the use of patient-reported outcome measures for long-term conditions in primary care. Her research interests include patients’ experiences of health care services, and the development and use of patient-reported outcome measures.

Her doctoral research investigated the health-related quality of life of adults with coeliac disease and their experiences of health care services to diagnose and manage the condition.

In 2009, she completed a Master's degree in Social Science Research Methods at Cardiff University.
