Document:
I am a social scientist with a background in psychology working across disciplinary boundaries. My research combines arts, science and public engagement to investigate health, well-being, creativity and resilience in later life. I critically explore how, and the extent to which, older people can manage to meet policy aspirations to ‘live well’ despite health problems and cognitive impairment, and research the impact of creative approaches to improving quality of life. I am involved in Welsh policy development, having co-authoring a number of literature reviews to inform the development of the Strategy for Older People in Wales and the Healthy Ageing Action Plan (Welsh Assembly Government 2005). I was seconded to the Older People’s Strategy Unit at the Welsh Assembly Government during the 2006/07 interim review period of the Strategy, and was a member of the Strategy Advisory Group. More recently I have been a member of the Wales Dementia Strategy task and finish group.
