As a social gerontologist in a medical school she is ideally placed to continue this development and promote improvements to the quality of life and wellbeing of older people by contributing to knowledge and advances in healthy ageing. She is currently working with older people in the areas of adherence to osteoporosis medicine, health literacy and healthcare communication. She is also researching empathy in the medical consultation. All her work involves users and/or patient and public involvement. She is a member of the Local Support Network for Age & Ageing.

Charlotte is primarily a qualitative researcher although she is particularly keen that mixed methods are used where ever feasible. Charlotte’s expertise includes using discourse analysis, thematic analysis and framework analysis. More recently she has developed her use of qualitative systematic reviews and is writing a book chapter on this topic.
