Buse is a Research Fellow in Mixed Methods at Hull York Medical School. She is working on the CanBenefit3 study with Dr. Cindy Forbes. CanBenefit3 explores the feasibility of implementing a tailored rehabilitation programme for people diagnosed with lung cancer as part of standard care. Her role involves contributing to the design, delivery, and evaluation of a multi-site implementation study examining how personalised wellbeing support can be embedded within lung cancer care pathways.
Her work combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to evaluate programme feasibility, acceptability, and potential impact on patient outcomes such as quality of life, physical function, and treatment completion. She is particularly interested in how behavioural and lifestyle interventions can be delivered more equitably within healthcare systems and reach patients from underserved communities.
Buse holds an MSc in Health Psychology from University College London and a PhD in Health Sciences from the University of Hull. She is also a Health Psychologist in training with the British Psychological Society. Her research focuses on behavioural science, physical activity, and the development of inclusive health interventions to support wellbeing in people with complex health conditions. She also contributes to teaching in health psychology and behaviour change.

Buse’s research focuses on behavioural science and how lifestyle behaviours can support health and wellbeing in people living with complex health conditions. She is particularly interested in the role of physical activity and other health behaviours in recovery, quality of life, and long-term health outcomes.
Her work often uses mixed-methods approaches to understand the experiences of patients and healthcare professionals and to inform the development and evaluation of health interventions. She is also interested in how supportive care and lifestyle interventions can be tailored for people from underserved communities.
Her doctoral research explored the role of physical activity in recovery from alcohol dependence, examining the barriers and facilitators to engaging in physical activity from both service user and healthcare professional perspectives. More broadly, her work spans areas including addiction recovery, cancer survivorship, and the implementation of behavioural and lifestyle interventions within healthcare settings.
Buse contributes to teaching in health psychology, behavioural science, and health behaviour change. She has delivered lectures and seminars for undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Hull and Hull York Medical School on topics including health behaviour change, and the psychology of health and disease.
She previously led the postgraduate module Psychology of Health and Disease and continues to support teaching activities across health-related programmes.
