Broadly, my research interests rest within the social and ethical aspects of health and medicine. I have long-standing interests in matters related to reproductive medicine, and the donation of body parts, blood and tissue for a variety of purposes. My current research interests are within the field of clinical ethics, including the need for clinical ethics committees and clinical ethicists, clinical ethics education and training, improving organisational cultures, and the interplay between practitioner, relative, and patient and their decision-making in healthcare. My emerging research focus is located within research ethics. I adopt an applied approach, whereby I consider the policy and practice implications of the topic under study, and is interdisciplinary in nature.
