Episode 4 – Realist Research in Action: Navigating the Healthcare Workforce with Ruth Abrams

What does it really take to explore workforce issues in healthcare using a realist lens? How can research stay grounded when you're working with overstretched systems and exhausted staff? Join Alejandro and Dr. Ruth Abrams for a conversation packed with practical wisdom and reflective insights. Ruth opens up about her journey into realist research, how context (with a big "C") shapes everything, and why creativity and community matter just as much as theory. From setting up special interest groups to influencing real-world commissioning decisions, this episode offers a front-row seat to the challenges and possibilities of doing meaningful realist work in the healthcare workforce. Whether you’re new to realism or looking to energise your stakeholder engagement strategies, this episode is for you.
