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 more latterly as a doctoral research supervisor. I am an internal examiner for the DPsych. I have availability most of the time. Formerly, I was a medical doctor for 33 years, specialising in palliative medicine to care for people (and their families) with life-threatening illnesses. My doctoral research was a Narrative Inquiry, exploring personal experiences of death and dying in the lives of junior doctors using narrative research methodologies. After retiring from clinical medicine in 2015, I have also maintained associations with Cardiff University Palliative Medicine marking MSc dissertations and occasional MSc Supervision. 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.
