Tutor expertise: Social Prescribing

PhD, MA, BA Stephanie Tierney - Associate Professor

Dr Stephanie Tierney is a departmental lecturer and health services researcher with an interest in long-term conditions, delivery of services and patients' experiences of care. She has completed qualitative research on a range of health-related topics, including understanding compassionate care, living with cystic fibrosis, working with patients who have diabetes, interventions for children with a cleft lip/palate.

Stephanie's current research focuses on social prescribing and how it can help to address wider determinants of health. I have conducted projects on the link worker role (who connect people to community assets and services), and on the contribution of the cultural sector to social prescribing.
