Meet The Team

Sarah Yardley

I am a clinical academic undertaking qualitative research across disciplinary and methodological boundaries. Ever curious about how sociocultural influences, informal learning and ‘real world’ practices shape healthcare, my research interests include how patients, families, carers, and healthcare professionals do the work of healthcare, making use of learning and meaning derived from experiences; specialist-generalist interfaces and care transitions, and; impact of human-dependent interventions such as collegiate and therapeutic relationships on current and future care. I am particularly interested in informal learning in workplaces, the palliative care needs of people with serious mental illness and the role of social interactions and relationships in healthcare. I’d also love to co-produce transdisciplinary research, practice and creative work more; let me know if you have an idea you might like me to join with you to develop.
