GCHU is pleased to share the report: ‘Preventable deaths in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire’ written by Jessica De La Haye and Georgia Richards.

Jessica De La Haye was a Research Analyst at the GCHU in September 2021 as part of the Micro-Internship programme run by the University of Oxford’s Careers Service.

During the internship, I conducted a research project analysing the preventable death reports for Cambridge. This involves categorising the deaths, conducting a thematic analysis of the coroner’s concerns and quantitively analysing the demographics and frequencies of the reports. I learnt so much about qualitative research methods and data management during my week. It was fascinating to see how we could take these data-rich reports, analyse them, and synthesise the findings in a way that could have real policy implications. Although I found at times it was challenging to present such rich data in a clear way, Georgia was always clear in her guidance and available to answer any questions we had. The internship was fast paced, engaging and incredibly informative
