RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests include:

  • Responsiveness in primary care
  • Research ethics committees & research governance
  • Regulation in biomedical research

 

TEACHING

I teach small groups in the Health & Disease in Society (HaDSoc) and Health Pyshology & Human Diversity (HealthPsych) modules for medical students.

 

TRAINING

I provide training in qualitative analysis software, QSR NVivo10, on behalf of IT Services and the Academic Practice Unit.  I provide Guided Learning Sessions for individuals and small groups and lead the introductory course for delegates with little or no previous knowledge of NVivo7.
