Jacqueline Damant
With a background in psychiatric and geriatric nursing, I began my research career investigating the quality of life of older people in the digital age. After being awarded a PhD in Social policy from the LSE, I turned my attention to topics involving the quality of life of older people living in residential care settings including personalisation of care, access to – and generation of – community services and role of digital technologies in care homes.
