Research Interests

I trained and worked as a therapy radiographer prior to completing my Masters in Health Research and my PhD in Science and Technology Studies (Lancaster). I have previously worked on research projects exploring working patterns of radiographers and the training of sonographers in the NHS. I have been on the board for Lancaster University's Centre for Science Studies since 2010.
