About
Healthcare’s shift from a paternalistic to a patient-centred model underscores the need for informed and compassionate decision-making, particularly at the end of life. As populations age and medical options expand, empowering individuals and families to navigate this stage with confidence has become a critical public health priority. My research bridges economics, behavioural science, and palliative care to understand how people plan, decide, and communicate about end-of-life care. My goal is to enhance end-of-life health literacy, reduce inequalities, and support public health policies that prepare healthcare systems, and societies, for the realities of ageing and dying with dignity.
