International Health Humanities Network Membership

I am a theologian by background and training, currently Senior Lecturer in Theology and Spiriutuality in the Faculty of Health Sciences, Staffordshire University. The areas in which I am currently researchign and publishing are: philosophical, ethical and theological issues related to dementia and dementia care; the role of 'Chaplains for Wellbeing' in Primary Care; the contribution of religious communities to the achievement of public health goals; the function of 'spirituality' as a term in the rhetoric of health care. 

I have degrees in Biological Sciences and Theology. My PhD research was on the role of theologicla rhetoric in constructing and maintianing the Anglican Communion. My main interest in this network is in using religious and mythological themes to enrich the professional and public discourse on fundamental values in health and social care.
