Research Interests
Katherine trained as a nurse in London following completion of her geography degree in Durham. She worked in radiotherapy and the care of older people before moving into research in both higher education and hospital trusts undertaking research and practice development in the areas of oncology and palliative care. Her interests in the care of older people and palliative care have led her to undertake several projects concerned with care homes. She has recently completed a 3 year research fellowship, funded by The Health Foundation, at the University of Sheffield. The focus of this work was to develop end of life care in care homes involving older people, their relatives and staff. She now works at the Institute for Health Research, Lancaster University and is involved in developing research around older people and palliative and supportive care.
Katherine is the Older Adults Theme co-leader of the Cancer Experiences Collaborative (CECo), for which Lancaster University is the host.
