Research interests

My research interests are focused on experiences of healthcare; both from the patient and healthcare providers' perspective. This includes application of concepts within health pyschology and behavioural change theory, inclusive healthcare including patient choice and preferences for healthcare service provision, and experiences of working cultures within healthcare. I also have a keen interest in the development and application of Independent Prescribing (IP) and advanced consultation skills in pharmacy, linked to my role as Programme Director of the IP course.
