My current field of research concerns mature students experiences of higher education. Part of this has concerned the supports and barriers to technology use in education experienced by older learners.
Research interests include frailty and the management of long-term conditions, particularly dementia and COPD, Care home research, educational research that looks at older people, mature students and their experiences of life-long learning.
