Bernadette Bartlam

I hold the post of Lecturer in Mixed Methods within the Primary Care and Health Sciences Research Centre, having previously been in the School of Medicine where I was Course Director for the MSc in Geriatric Medicine. I am also a member of the Centre for Social Gerontology (www.keele.ac.uk/csg).

I am a critical gerontologist with a particular interest in healthy ageing and diversity, so taking into account issues such as gender, sexuality, ethnicity and disability. I am also very interested in resilience from a life course perspective, and how we adapt and cope with mental and physical challenges as we age, I have a strong interest in mixed methods and also in research ethics, and have been a member of a number of research ethics committees, including the research ethics committees of both the University and the School of Medicine.

In addition to supervising doctoral students, I contribute to teaching on ageing and research methods within the Faculty of Health, in particular the Masters in Medical Sciences and the generic Faculty research module, Researching Health.
