Julie has recently returned to the School of Psychology on a part-time basis alongside her current research role in the School of Nursing and Midwifery.  In 2017 she was awarded a PhD from Ulster University which focused on self-harm in an online setting.  In this new post, Julie will be working with Dr Lisa Graham-Wisener and Dr Tracey McConnell to develop a NIHR HSDR application for a music therapy project related to bereavement.  The project will aim to understand how music therapy pre- and post-bereavement from terminal illness may work in different healthcare settings, and for which groups of people.  Julie has a genuine interest in qualitative research and helping people across communities and is very much looking forward to being part the ‘MusiCARER’ project.
