Professor Nan Greenwood

About

I am a social scientist with over two decades of health service research. My main research interests are older people, carers, dementia and stroke. I am also particularly interested in ethnic and cultural diversity. I tend to use qualitative and mixed methods although I started as a quantitative researcher. I have expertise in systematic reviewing and have published numerous integrative and qualitative reviews. I am currently working with local third sector carers organisations focusing on older (70+ years) carers.

I have four PhD students and also supervise MSc students. I am a member of the Commissioning Panel for the Department of Health Policy Research Programme and reviews for many journals and grant awarding bodies.
