Research areas

Currently employed at the School of Medicine as a Multimorbidity PhD Fellow, supported by Wellcome Trust through the Multimorbidity Doctoral Training Programme. By background I am a Palliative Medicine and General Internal Medicine Registrar in NHS Tayside.

My key research areas are:

- Exploring the healthcare interactions of people living with advanced multimorbidity in the last year of life

- Understanding the lived experience of those with advanced multimorbidity and what matters to them

Other interests include: widening access to medical school, inclusive palliative care and supporting research engagement for palliative medicine trainees.
