- Profile
-
I joined the University of 91Ö±²¥ in 2015 as a Vice-Chancellor's Fellow, undertaking a Fellowship project on the costs of palliative care in the last six months of life. I previously worked as a Senior Lecturer at The University of Auckland, New Zealand, before which I was a Lecturer and Research Fellow at the University of 91Ö±²¥. I have been involved in palliative and end of life care research for over 10 years, and have published over 80 papers in peer review journals. I have been involved in a number of international research projects, totalling over £5 million of funding to date.
- Research interests
-
My research interests are in palliative and end of life care, ageing and older people, and mesothelioma. I am particularly interested in research concerning economic aspects of palliative care, particularly the costs of family caregiving. I have further research interests in social isolation in the elderly, and interventions to reduce loneliness including befriending. I am Co-Director of the Mesothelioma UK Research Centre which conducts research into patient experiences, service organisation and delivery in mesothelioma.
