About
Dr Marina Malthouse MBBS, DipPallMed, MA MedHum, EdD Narrative Inquiry [email protected] I have been with the NSPC since August 2018 as a moderator of assignments, marking Masters dissertations, a Masters level research supervisor and for Doctoral research students, both primary and secondary supervisor. I also act as an NSPC internal examiner for the DPsych. I have availability most of the time.
From 1982 to 2015 I was a physician, and from 1995 to 2015 worked only in the specialty of palliative medicine to care for people (and their families) with life-threatening illnesses. My own Doctoral research was a Narrative Inquiry, exploring personal experiences of death and dying in the lives of junior doctors.
From 2000-2017, I had links with Cardiff University Palliative Medicine department examining, communication skills tutor, marking MSc dissertations and supervising MSc students.
My academic interests in qualitative research include: narrative research methods (narrative interviewing, auto-ethnography, writing as a method of inquiry, narrative inquiry, narrative analysis, collective biography); behaviours around dying (and whilst being around someone who is dying); how death affects meaning in life; and education theory.
