My general research interests include the design, development and evaluation of services designed to enhance the wellbeing and quality of life of palliative care patients and their lay carers. I have additional research interests in mental health service provision and, in particular the mental health of the offender population.  My research has involved the implementation of a wide range of health service research methodologies including systematic reviews, randomised controlled trials, realist evaluation and qualitative methods.
