Sasha is Professor of Health Services Research and leads the Health Services Research Unit. She is co-coordinating editor for the international Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) Review Group.

After an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Vermont she completed a master's at the Harvard School of Public Health and a DPhil at the University of Oxford. Her main interest is health systems research; this includes generating evidence to guide the design of health services with a focus on population ageing. Research methods include the conduct of randomised trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the global evidence, and the use of large databases.

Sasha is the chief investigator of a NIHR funded multi-site randomised trial of Acute Care in the Home.

She has worked for a number of years on strengthening graduate education in population health, and is the Chair of the departmental Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
