His work focuses on the health and wellbeing of individuals living with or supporting someone with long-term conditions in the community. He is currently involved in the DiTSoW project (Digital Technologies to support Social Wellbeing for community dwelling older adults), which is situated within the National Priorities programme for Adult Social Care Social Work.
