His research interests are focused upon pedagogy and curriculum development within nurse education. He has undertaken extensive research exploring the interface between nursing and other academic disciplines. Dr Iain Atherton trained as a nurse before going back to university to study development and then demography. He is fascinated by how our lives are shaped and shape the societies in which we live. His clinical work and research have led him to develop critical thinking about the links between nursing practice and wider society.
