I am a medical sociologist with a particular interest in public and patient beliefs and behaviours in relation to common infections in the community. I also have a keen interest in person-centred care which draws on the philosophy of patient empowerment and engaging patients and members of the public in their health and well-being. This may be through shared decision making, inclusion in research, self-management support, and improving health literacy. Finally, I have an interest in health care communication.

I have over 20 years of post-doctoral research experience, during which time I have developed a broad portfolio of expertise particularly in qualitative research methods and qualitative evidence synthesis.

I am lead for Education within the Division of Population Medicine.
