I am an Associate Professor and Doctoral Programme Leader at the University College of Osteopathy and practicing osteopath in London. I completed my PhD at the University of Brighton, School of Health Professions, where I used constructivist grounded theory to construct an explanatory theory of the clinical decision making of experienced osteopaths in the UK. My research interests include patient centred care, clinical reasoning/decision making, expertise in clinical manual therapy, qualitative and grounded theory research.
