Caroline’s PhD, funded by an Economic & Social Research Council CASE studentship, was awarded by University of Edinburgh in 2013.  Based with the Centre for Families and Relationships (CRFR) and working with an NHS partner, Caroline used qualitative methods to explore the impact of changes to child health policy on children’s health and well-being. 

Since completing her PhD, Caroline has also worked on a range of other applied health research studies which have evaluated e-health interventions within Neonatal Care;  explored self-harm within the context of General Practice; and a study of services for young people with disabilities.
