Research interests
My main research interest is in cardiovascular disease. Research in this field has included assessment of the feasiblity and acceptability of computerised clinical decision support for the diagnosis of angina, an ethnographic study of people with heart failure at increased risk of hospital admission, and quantitative and qualitative reviews of case management for people with heart failure.
My current PhD is supported by an NIHR doctoral fellowship and focuses on shared decision making for cardiovascular conditions, (specifically hypertension and heart failure), using systematic review and longitudinal qualitative.
