Examining how we can improve person centred integrated care for older people living with frailty
Euan is a social scientist and physiotherapist. He is leading and collaborating on a programme of research to improve person centred integrated care for older people living with frailty. Euan is also research capacity lead for integrated care for older people with frailty in Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust and contributes to developing the clinical academic pathway for research nurses and allied health professionals across the Trust and University.
After completing his physiotherapy training, Euan specialised in community rehabilitation for older people with a range of long-term conditions, including frailty and those with multimorbidity. He completed his PhD in Gerontology at the Institute of Gerontology, King’s College London, where he conducted a mixed methods project examining the role of spirituality in successful ageing.
Before moving to the University of Southampton he led and collaborated on a number of research programmes at King’s College London which focused on the development and evaluation of complex interventions to improve long-term care and support for people living with a stroke. Between 2016 to 2019 he was Senior Research Fellow in the Centre for Implementation Science at King’s, where he started to develop his research programme on person centred integrated care to improve health and social care for older people with frailty, which he is continuing to lead and develop on at the University of Southampton.

Euan’s research expertise and interests focus on person centred integrated care approaches for older people living with frailty and multimorbidity; social science informed qualitative research and evidence synthesis; ethnography; implementation science; design and evaluation of complex interventions; and co-design and co-production approaches in health and adult social care.
