About Me

I have a particular research interest in the social history of medicine in modern Britain. My interests fall into two broad categories: medico-legal history and the arts in medicine/healthcare. I work broadly in the interdisciplinary field of ‘medical humanities’, including work on literature and culture. I am currently working on the sensory history of NHS hospitals. I have previous written on Victorian sexual forensics, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, ‘narrative medicine’ and the modern history of multidisicplinary medical education.
