Current and recently completed projects include:

• TERSC- A randomised controlled trial of thoracic epidural analgesia versus rectus sheath catheters for open midline incisions in major abdominal surgery within an Enhanced Recovery Program (RfPB)
• I also supervise PhD students pursuing both traditional route PhDs and the PhD in Palliative Care Programme.

Potential projects include those which focus on:

• Experiences of supportive and palliative care and care systems in hospital, primary and community settings.
• Experiences of symptoms, particularly for people with life limiting conditions receiving novel treatments such as immunotherapies.
• Complex interventions for symptom management
• Paediatric and AYA palliative care
