Sarah Salway is Principal Research Fellow in the Centre for Health & Social Care Research, Sheffield Hallam University. With a background in sociology and public health, she has extensive experience of conducting both quantitative and qualitative social science research. Her work on race/ethnicity has spanned the social welfare and health arenas. She has lived and worked for extended periods in South Asia, speaks Bengali and has a particular interest in the experiences of British Bangladeshis.

She recently convened an ESRC-funded two-year seminar programme, 'Understanding and tackling ethnic inequalities in health'. She is a member of the Sheffield Health and Social Research Consortium Scientific Review Board and was Assistant Editor of the Routledge journal Ethnicity & Health (2004-2008).

Sarah is the Principal Investigator for the project providing academic direction and coordinating all activities. With Ruth Barley, she is undertaking the bulk of the review and consultation work. She will take the lead on developing and piloting the guidelines while also eliciting and incorporating critical input from the other team members.
