Area of research?
My research background is in ageing and applied health and social care research. My main research is focussed on people with dementia and neurodegenerative conditions, across the themes: 1) Managing clinical complexity including palliative and end of life care; 2) Communication and decision making; 3) Digital health; and 4) Enhancement of co-production and applied qualitative research methods. Across these four themes is a cross cutting element of research on under-represented populations.
