| Research interests | My main focus on research are on older people, domestic violence and abuse (DVA) and healthcare education. I have conducted studies on older people living in care homes (the PEACH study), transitions from acute settings to home or community hospitals and the involvement of family carers for those with a cognitive impairment. I led a leading UK wide COVID study working with family of residents living in care homes in addition to a rapid review on communication tools used as best practice in care homes between relatives and care homes. Most of my work is collaborative around older people and/or care homes. I work nationally and have international collaborations with colleagues at USP, UNESP in Brazil as well as links to South African research institutions. |
