Research Interests

The focus of my research interest is on inter-personal, intra-personal and extra-personal relationships, using a psychodynamic and managerialist analytical discourse. My research has largely been in two areas (1) Exploring the impact of such relationships on nursing practice, policy, organisation and particularly nurse education and the preparation for practice. (2) Impact evaluations of service developments across the public and private sectors and the educational implications for service users and health care professional of these changes. I have worked on and managed several multi-professional projects both within the university, but also with partners from other universities and from practice.
