Hilary was PI on the ‘Caring and Coping: Living with limb loss, the veterans and family perspective’ in collaboration with British Limbless Ex-Servicemen’s Association (Blesma), funded by the Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT). From this research, a Living with Limb Loss Support Model has been developed that identifies key stages in the living with limb loss life course where targeted supported is more likely to enhance coping in the veterans and families context and support long term independent living. This model can be adapted and applied by health, social care and charitable services. Please contact Hilary for further details.
Hilary writes widely on raising awareness veteran health and wellbeing in the health and social care professional literature, and has a particular interest in exploring the ethics of reciprocity in relation to veteran’s health and social care, and the nature and scope of a duty to care for veterans, and is working to develop awareness of veteran and their families in the primary and secondary care contexts. Hilary leads the MSc Global Military and Veteran Studies and supervises EdD and PhD students on military, veteran, education and health subjects, with a methodological expertise in grounded theory, interpretive phenomenological analysis, narrative and mixed methodology.
