Author Information

Dr Trish Hafford-Letchfield is Professor of Social Care at Middlesex University where she has been responsible for delivering an interprofessional Leadership Programme for people working in the public and community services. Trish also contributes to teaching on research methods, social policy and adult social care. As a trained nurse, social worker, manager and educator, Trish has particular research, teaching and practice expertise in older people and management. She is a committed lifelong learner and much of her expertise lies in the engagement of service users, carers and the voluntary sector in the development and delivery of social care services. She has published extensively across a range of interests and her more recent publications include two edited texts 'Revisiting Anti-Discriminatory and Anti-Oppressive Theories for Social Work Practice' with Christine Cocker for Palgrave in 2014; and 'Ethics and Values for Social Work Practice' with Linda Bell for McGraw-Hill in 2015. She has particular interest in LGBTQI older people, solo women in later life and in exploring the use of the arts in social care.
