About

My PhD was completed in Goldsmiths, University of London Sociology department in 2013, where I looked at how guidelines are followed and applied in a paediatric HIV practice. Since completion I have worked as a Research Fellow in Kings College London looking theories and methodologies of implementation and improvement, before joining the Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education in 2016.

I have broad research interests in the social sciences and humanities as applied to medicine, knowledge and communication. and more specifically in the application of guidelines to practice, implementation, disciplinary boundaries and hegemony in medicine.

I am currently involved in postgraduate teaching in various courses in Kingston and St George's University of London. My teaching areas include social sciences, research methods, implementation and improvement and global health.
