My background is in child health and in particular, long term conditions. My research involves working across methodologies, and although, based more in the positive paradigm, I am well versed in mixed methods research, and I draw on the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. 

My research areas of interest are in long term conditions in children and competence in decision making.  I also have an interest health economics and quality of life issues.

Nina is interested in supervising PhD and MRes students researching topics related to paediatric critical care, long term conditions in children and escalation practices of nurses.

I have experience in planning and conducting research, successful funding appplications, research mentoring as well as supervising research students, in a variety of different qualitative and quantitative methods such as constructivist grounded theory, phenomenology, randomised controlled trials, cross sectional and longitudinal surveys,  development and validation of tools and mixed methods design.
