My research interests are informed by working for several years as an NHS GP before obtaining a mid-career PhD in Sociology for research exploring doctors’ experiences of working in the UK NHS. My research is mostly concerned with the changing composition of the primary care workforce and the impact of policies which alter what is expected of those working in general practice. I am interested in understanding what motivates doctors to choose GP careers and how they maintain engagement and commitment to deliver high quality care throughout their careers.
