I would be interested to hear from any potential PhD students who are interested in spatial inequalities in health or health care provision 

My research Interests focus around health inequalities, in particular spatial dimensions of health access

I am interested in:

• access to community health care, including GP services and pharmacies
• waiting times for GP appointments
• GP funding
• unplanned hospital admissions
• general health inequalities, in particular the North/South divide

I use a range of methods including:

• multiple regression modelling
• multilevel modelling
• spatial modelling using GIS

I currently lecture on quantitative methods and social geographies including:

• GEO1018 Geographical Analysis
• GEO2014 Key Methods for Human Geographers
• GEO2110 Social Geographies
• GEO??     Geographies of Globalization (Borneo) Fieldtrip
