  • My research is focused on understanding experiences and processes at end-of-life, to improve support for patients and family caregivers during this time.  To do so my research has focused on the following areas, often co-producing and implementing interventions: 
  • Self-management at end-of-life
  • Medicines management, particularly in relation to the use of strong opioids and the associated management of common side-effects
