My friend and colleague Martin Stevens, who has died aged 57 from Covid-related complications, was a senior research fellow at the health and social care workforce research unit at King’s College London for the past 18 years.
During his career Martin chaired the UK Social Services Research Group and the Health Research Authority social care research ethics committee, in which roles he contributed much to developing ethics and governance in social care research. At his death he was chair of the Good Mental Health Co-operative committee as well as being an adviser to the National Institute for Health Research’s research design service.
