Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Psychology
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
I am a third-year Doctor of Philosophy (Psychology) candidate, working under the supervision of Professors Anna Chur-Hansen, Jane Andrews, and Anne Burke.
My team and I are investigating the pathway to bariatric surgery in terms of factors that are associated with (non)progression to surgery. The project explores factors at the patient, social, clinician, organisational, governmental and societal levels. The work aims to promote equitable processes and decisions concerning patients' (non)progression to bariatric surgery and the provision of patient-centred care.
I use qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as review methodologies.
