Diane's doctoral research explores the lived experiences of female nurse partners in general practice in England, using interpretative phenomenological analysis to gain a deeper understanding of their roles, identities, and challenges. Through this work, she aims to inform, raise awareness, and promote the under-researched area of nurse partners within primary care and wider healthcare policy discussions.
