Emma Johnson joined the Centre for Academic Primary Care in September 2014. With a background in health psychology and qualitative methodologies she is currently working on the EOS study (Experiences of survivors of domestic violence and abuse: Hearing women’s voices).

Findings will be used to develop an on-line information resource about women’s experiences, as part of the healthtalk.org website.
Her research interests focus on chronic illness, help seeking, lived experience and interpretative phenomenological analysis.
