She led the study design, advisory panel meetings, recruitment of participants, data-collection, analysis. Her research interests include care at the margins of life, in particular for people with dementia and at the end-of-life, and how patient and professionals’ tacit knowledge can be made available for learning.

Her research interests include the use of patient narratives for healthcare improvement, women’s health, in particular infertility, pregnancy and childbirth, and the use of the Internet as a resource for health information and support.
