Her research is broadly focused on end-to-end healthcare supply chains with a particular focus on the pharmaceutical supply chain. This covers a multitude of areas including supply chain sustainability, medicines optimisation, digital innovation, patient safety, process analysis and risk management. Liz has more recently undertaken extensive analysis of the UK Covid-19 vaccine supply chain and has commented on this in widespread media coverage.

Liz was the co-lead on the Process Evaluation stream of the ISCOMAT study (National Institute for Health Research programme) focusing on patient safety/medicinestransitions and Deputy theme lead for the Safe Use of Medicines theme in the Yorkshire and Humber Patient Safety Translational Research Centre. She is a Wolfson Centre for Applied Health Research Fellow andan Affiliate member of the NIHR Yorkshire & Humber Patient Safety ResearchCollaboration.

Research projects

Research projects involving Professor Liz Breen.
Role Date Title/description Funder Award
Workstream Co-lead 2018-04-01T00:00:00 This study is funded by the NIHR and sits within the Patient Safety Translational Research Centre. The study focuses on stopping problematic/ineffective medicines in primary care to achieve safer use of medicines for frail older patients living at home.
PI Phase 4 of study 2017-11-01T00:00:00 This study is being delivered by a team from the Universities of Southampton, Bradford and Leeds. It is a national study aimed at understanding patient and carer access to palliative care medicines during the last year of life. Phase 4 of the study is about understanding how the supply chain into community pharmacies operate and wholesaler and distributor perspectives on this are key. The study is funded by the National Institute for Health Research.
Work package Co-Lead 2016-03-01T00:00:00 Improving efficiency and safety for high risk medicines in dynamic healthcare systems (Collaborative Project between University of Bradford School of Pharmacy, Leeds University and Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust). I'm part of a large research team designing and delivering an innovative healthcare intervention
PI 2019-02-01T00:00:00 In order to deliver safe and effective healthcare to patients the NHS needs to create a good working environment for its staff. Healthcare professionals report high levels of physical and mental illness which can be related to their work. In particular, work-related stress can result in poor retention rates in healthcare organisations and poor staff wellbeing impacts on patients’ experiences and care quality. As such there is a need to focus on the health and wellbeing of NHS staff, and in particular those who have become mentally stressed and physically ill as a result of their job. This is sometimes referred to as ‘burnout’. We aim to work with Yorkshire Ambulance Services YAS NHS Trust and their staff to explore burnout in the workforce as perceived/experienced by call handlers. The examination of this will be guided by current research and thinking in this field. Work is ongoing within YAS to support their staff in addressing factors affecting burnout levels, e.g. stress triggers, shift patterns, job content etc. This study will complement these.

Research supervision

Professor Liz Breen is responsible for the supervision of 2 postgraduate researchers at the University of Bradford.

Teaching

Details on teaching interests, highlights and modules are available for Professor Liz Breen as follows:

Teaching interests

Teaching experience includes: Economics of Healthcare Management and Management of GlobalPharmaceutical Supply; Operations Management; Service OperationsManagement; Supply Chain Management (reverse logistics, risk management);Change Management and Research Methods. I also support other modules which require healthcare management and supply chain input.

Teaching highlights

My teaching strategy and delivery is applied, in that whilst grounded in classical theory/texts, always pulls from current research/industry experience and my own research. I find this approach particularly useful in engaging with business/executive cohorts who expect industrial expertise to support academic acumen. I support my teaching with the inclusion of industry professionals in my lectures. I have taught a range of class sizes, from 400 students to a 1-1 provision and am comfortable with any class size. I have extensive experience of DBA/PhD/MBA/Masters and UG theses and dissertations completions and am very keen to introduce all research activity from these into the teaching environment.
