Research Profile
My main research interests are: family caregiving; patient experiences; health services and mental distress. I have carried out research using a wide variety of methods, but I prefer qualitative research with an emphasis on narrative accounts of experience.
Background
Before concentrating on health service user/carer research, I worked in industry as a project manager and usability specialist; in higher education as a senior lecturer in communication design; and as a freelance writer. I've also done a variety of other things, including work in schools, and with mental health service users and carers.
Research Projects

NICE scoping study on patient experience
