Hi, I’m Dr Steph Hughes, the founder of Open Perspective Ltd and an expert qualitative researcher with 15 years’ experience in health and social care. I specialise in qualitative research, lived-experience insight, and evidence generation, helping organisations understand people’s experiences and use that insight to make better decisions.
I work with charities, public sector organisations, and research teams to design and deliver high-quality studies, particularly in sensitive or complex areas. By combining academic rigour with inclusive, ethical engagement, I ensure research is not only robust but meaningful and actionable.

We run regular online qualitative research training courses at various levels - from beginners to advanced.

Have a bespoke training need? We offer in-person and online bespoke workshops. Get in touch for a no obligation quote.

We offer various research design packages with services including study document writing.

We have vast experience in setting up groups of people with lived experience to ensure your research stays grounded in the important stuff.

We can help you set up a team of stakeholders and advise on stakeholder engagement management.
