Research
My personal research interests are in health information and the self-management of health, and health informatics. I am passionate about improving public involvement in developing and accessing health information. I also have an interest in pain management and am currently working on two projects investigating the use of self-management techniques. I have worked extensively in the area of nurse education. More generally, I have a keen interest in research methods. I am an expert in the use of NVivo software and a registered QSR trainer.
