Public outreach & key achievements
I am a member of the NI Think Family Leads Group and have worked in this area since 2007, helping to evaluate services and to produce recommendations that inform family focused practice in NI and internationally.
Along with colleagues in NI, Norway and Australia, I have also led on the development of an eLearning programme on The Family Model that can be used by health professionals to promote their family focused practice.
On an ongoing basis I engage in international research projects to help inform service development for parents and their families.
