About me

I am Professor of Palliative Care and Health Services Research at Hull York Medical School (UK). My research focuses on inequalities in palliative and end-of-life care, particularly for people from minority ethnic communities and those with complex mental health conditions. I use mixed methods approaches, combining large-scale linked healthcare data with qualitative interviews, ethnography, and participatory co-design.

My work examines disparities in symptom assessment and management (especially pain), access to palliative and supportive care, and the cultural and social influences shaping care experiences. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary collaborations that bridge clinical practice, social science, and policy, and in developing and evaluating complex interventions that improve equity, quality, and experience of care for people living with life-limiting illness.
