Biography
I am Professor of Health Services Research and Philosophy with academic homes in both the Aberdeen Centre for Evaluation (formerly Health Services Research Unit) within the Institute of Applied Health Sciences on the University's Foresterhill campus and Philosophy (School of Divinity, History, Philosophy & Art History) on the Old Aberdeen campus.
My research and teaching are highly interdisciplinary. Broadly speaking, I use philosophy and social research to understand and address concerns about quality, ethics and social justice in health care, public health and (more recently) funeral provision and work with the dead and bereaved. I am particularly interested in what are sometimes called person-centred approaches to service provision - you might prefer to talk about the humanity in health and social care provision. I often use feminist theorising and a relational capabilities approach to human wellbeing in my work.
I've had the privilege of working in, and visiting, a number of universities internationally, gravitating back to the University of Aberdeen each time with an extended range of valued colleagues and learning.

Research Overview
I use social research and practical philosophy to help understand what matters for 'good' public health, healthcare and care of the dead and bereaved, to analyse ethical issues, and to consider how policy and practice should be developed in those domains. I seek to take seriously the plurality of values, diversity of perspectives, complexity of social relationships and demands of social justice.

Current Research
I am currently working on several projects:
'But why is that better?' explores what applied philosophy and ethics can contribute to healthcare improvement. This is a collaboration with Professor Alan Cribb and Dr Polly Mitchell of King's College London. It was funded by the Wellcome Trust until November 2024 and we are currently finalising a monograph under contract with Bloomsbury. The project webpage (including links to the project's journal outputs) is at https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/but-why-is-that-better-project .
Developing the foundations for a Centre (currently 'in development') for Interdisciplinary Death Studies. This broad project initiative builds from the collaboration and learning that for me were initiated with the ESRC funded project 'Developing practical ethics of care for the dead and bereaved' examines what we can learn from the disruption and development of funeral practices during COVID-19. One of the main outputs from that project was the Care in Funerals Casebook - an online resource to support reflection and discussion of values and practical and ethical challenges in funeral provision ( www.abdn.ac.uk/care-in-funerals-casebook ). Developmental work for the Centre, which I co-lead with Dr Arnar Árnason, includes fostering internal and external network development and supporting grant writing.
Contributions to the Plan A project (developing a decision aid to support planning for either vaginal or caesarean birth) and the I6 initiative (to foster research to improve maternity service provision, particularly for underserved communities), both led by Dr Mairead Black.
Collaborations
Other current collaborations include with:
Professor Alan Cribb (King's College London), including development of work on the value of healthcare relationships.
