Mission
Statement
I am a health psychologist with a
background in nursing and am currently Help the Hospices
Chair in Hospice Studies based at the International
Observatory on End of Life Care at Lancaster University,
UK. I co-direct a large five year programme of collaborative
research and development called the Cancer Experiences
Collaborative with Professor Juila Addington-Hall, which
brings together five leading universities in the UK.
My research agenda focuses on the role of hospices in
the UK and internationally, and I hold a special interest
in end-of-life care for older people and bereavement
support. Previously, I have established and directed
research groups at the universities of Sheffield and
Southampton and have secured a number of major research
grants and supervised over 20 PhD students. I also teach
at postgraduate level about palliative care and qualitative
research methodology. I publish widely in academic and
professional journals, written ten books, and edit the
‘Health Psychology’ book series published
by the Open University Press with Sandra Horn. I was
a Trustee of St Luke’s Hospice, Sheffield and
therefore have insight into organisational issues in
palliative care. I am presently active in a number of
UK palliative care organisations including the Palliative
Care Research Society. I believe that my knowledge of
research and policy issues in palliative care can contribute
to the development of the EAPC. |
