Dr Amy Lloyd is currently a Project Facilitator on a Health Foundation funded project: ‘MAGIC: Making Good Decisions in Collaboration with Patients’. The programme is a joint venture between Cardiff School of Medicine, Newcastle University, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The 18-month programme will explore how clinicians can engage patients in shared decision making and how it can be embedded into mainstream health services. The programme will design and test interventions to encourage the use of shared decision making and runs from August 2010 to January 2012.

During her PhD, Amy used mixed methods to compare reproductive decision making in families who had experienced different diagnostic pathways for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (newborn screening or a later clinical diagnosis). Amy has also worked on, and led, a number of health-related research projects in the UK and Tanzania, for the public sector and charitable organisations.
