Mary is particularly interested in health and wellbeing in cancer survivors and in developing ways of managing the psychosocial and physical consequences of cancer and its treatment. Much of her current work focusses on survivors of head and neck cancer. Mary’s methodological expertise includes qualitative and quantitative research methods, and she has experience in a range of qualitative approaches including case study and qualitative meta-synthesis, as well as surveys and randomised controlled trials. Her PhD investigated the role of context in randomized trials of complex interventions, and she is particularly interested in the development and evaluation of complex interventions led by NMAHPs.
