Background

Introduction


My research is concerned with older adults and encompasses three complementary themes; care homes, end of life care, the health consequences of loneliness and isolation. Equitable access to care, patient and caregiver experiences and the influence of socioeconomic disadvantage are particular interests. My clinical work is as a GP and I am also an honorary consultant in public health.
