I have an interest in qualitative methods, especially Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). I coordinate a regional IPA discussion group – IPA-NI, which is attended by postgraduate students from across Northern Ireland using IPA.

My research programme spans three main areas:

a) General phenomenological research, especially the patient and carer experience of disease and illness, health care; and personal perceptions of risk. 

b) Adjustment in children with chronic and life limited illness, especially cystic fibrosis.  Specifically the experience of cross infection measures and segregation; the healthy sibling experience; and family adjustment.  

c) Ethics and quality in qualitative research, supervision in phenomenological research.
