Dr Chantal Ski

School of Nursing and Midwifery

The focus of Dr Ski's research is on psychosocial aspects of cardiovascular disease. This primarily relates to the development and evaluation of interventions designed to support the mental health and wellbeing of patients and their families.


Where possible she applies mixed-methods design and integrates qualitative and quantitative data to provide the most comprehensive evidence-base.


In an effort to reduce the burden on current health services, a key driver of her research is to find innovative yet pragmatic solutions to complex health issues that impact on both policy and practice, and ultimately improve patient and carer outcomes.
