Academic interests

My research interests are in the fields of psychosocial studies and critical psychology, and include embodiment, reflexivity, space, emotion and qualitative research methodologies. I conduct qualitative research in the fields of child protection, psychological medicine and critical social psychology.

I am one of two coordinator for the DigiHealth research group associated with the research priority area The Digital Society at Østdold University College (DigiHealth - Østfold University College (hiof.no)). My research interest is in the digitalised body, or in other words how digital tools and devises implemented in health and social care contexts, as well as in people’s everyday lives, contribute to their felt and sensed being-in-the-world. In collaboration with colleagues I have used systematic review and qualitative methods to explore women’s embodied experiences of using wearable digital self-tracking health technology, and the use of digital tools in delivering child protection services.

Background

I have previously worked as a researcher and lecturer at London South Bank University (Department of Psychology), University of Brighton (School of Applied Social Sciences) and King's College London (Department of Psychological Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry).

Municipality acute wards (MAWs) have recently been introduced in Norway. Their mandate is to provide treatment for patients who otherwise would have been hospitalized. Even though GPs are key stakeholders, little is known about how they perceive referring patients to these wards. The aim of this study was to investigate GPs’ perspectives on factors relevant for their decision-making when referring patients to MAWs. Methods. We used a qualitative approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with 23 GPs from five different MAW catchment areas in the southeastern part of Norway. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results. The GPs experienced challenges in deciding which patients were suitable for treatment at a MAW, including whether patients could be regarded as medically clarified, and whether these services were sufficient and safe. GPs were also under pressure from several other stakeholders when deciding where to refer their patients. Moreover, the MAWs were viewed not merely as an alternative to hospitals, but also as a service in addition to hospitals. Conclusion. This study improves our understanding of how GPs experience decentralized acute health care services, by identifying factors that influence and challenge their referral decisions. For these services to be used as intended in the collaboration reform, integrating the perspectives of GPs in the development and implementation of these services may be beneficial.

Abstract Objective To explore the views of sick doctors on their experiences with the General Medical Council (GMC) and their perception of the impact of GMC involvement on return to work. Design Qualitative study. Setting UK. Participants Doctors who had been away from work for at least 6 months with physical or mental health problems, drug or alcohol problems, GMC involvement or any combination of these, were eligible for inclusion into the study. Eligible doctors were recruited in conjunction with the Royal Medical Benevolent Fund, the GMC and the Practitioner Health Programme. These organisations approached 77 doctors; 19 participated. Each doctor completed an in-depth semistructured interview. We used a constant comparison method to identify and agree on the coding of data and the identification of central themes. Results 18 of the 19 participants had a mental health, addiction or substance misuse problem. 14 of the 19 had interacted with the GMC. 4 main themes were identified: perceptions of the GMC as a whole; perceptions of GMC processes; perceived health impacts and suggested improvements. Participants described the GMC processes they experienced as necessary, and some elements as supportive. However, many described contact with the GMC as daunting, confusing and anxiety provoking. Some were unclear about the role of the GMC and felt that GMC communication was unhelpful, particularly the language used in correspondence. Improvements suggested by participants included having separate pathways for doctors with purely health issues, less use of legalistic language, and a more personal approach with for example individualised undertakings or conditions. Conclusions While participants recognised the need for a regulator, the processes employed by the GMC and the communication style used were often distressing, confusing and perceived to have impacted negatively on their mental health and ability to return to work.
