Research

My research interests have developed primarily out of an interest in the needs and experiences of certain (often under-researched) patient groups, such as men with prostate cancer or the nature of specialist care for young adults with cancer. I am also interested in a range of related topics such as the scope of nursing, workforce development research and the relationships between the social, physical and emotional dimensions of illness & care. I collaborate with colleagues in other settings and disciplines and have worked with a variety of research funders. I have employed a diverse range of methods but my main interests these days reflect my roots in the social sciences including naturalistic/qualitative/ethnographic approaches.

Career Profile

Graduate of the integrated Social Science and Nursing degree programme at Edinburgh University. Clinical and managerial experience in intensive care, hospice and acute oncology settings, including specialist oncology training at the Royal Marsden Hospital.

I then spent five years in two Charge Nurse roles. The first, at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary in the Sexual Health service, was at the height of the HIV crisis in the late 1980s. I then returned to Oncology at the Western General Edinburgh to manage a unit that specialised in high dose/trial chemotherapy, including the treatment of young adults. I completed the MSc (Advanced Practice, Cancer Nursing) at University of Surrey during this time.

I then moved into education as a Lecturer in Cancer Nursing at the Royal Marsden Hospital and contributed to the development of innovative cancer and palliative care degree programmes for several years before being appointed Senior Nurse (Research & Development) at University College Hospitals in 1998. I completed a part-time PhD in Sociology at Goldsmiths College, London University on the embodied impact of prostate cancer in 2002.

This transitioned to a joint Senior Research Fellow post between UCL Hospitals and City University, London. I was then appointed Reader in Nursing at Middlesex University in 2005 with subsequent promotion to Professor of Nursing   and Cancer Care.

I joined Cardiff University in 2011 as The Royal College of Nursing Chair of Nursing Research.
