Research

Clare’s research interests centre around the ways in which learning is supported in clinical workplaces. Her doctoral work explored the impact of NHS reform on medical apprenticeship and the linked ‘professionalisation’ of medical education agenda. Current research activities include:

• An evaluation of an innovative leadership development programme for postgraduate trainees in psychiatry, commissioned by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

• A study exploring the value of digital storytelling for young people with chronic, complex medical conditions.

• A study exploring clinician, student and patient attitudes towards the risks involved in delegating work to medical students in a forensic mental health setting.
