Professional background and current research
Kritika Samsi has a background in psychology and gerontology and has worked across a number of projects in dementia, including minority ethnic issues, quality of life and end of life care.
Currently, she is involved in an NIHR-funded programme of research, exploring issues concerning the effective implementation of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, specifically in relation to people with dementia and adult safeguarding.
She is also investigating the process of ‘transitions’ that people with memory problems go through as they receive a formal diagnosis of dementia. Her work has mainly involved qualitative research methodologies, with a focus on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. However, she is also experienced in using both quantitative and qualitative methods within the same study and is committed to using a range of methodologies to suit appropriate research questions.
Kritika teaches on qualitative modules of MSc courses at the Institute of Psychiatry and is a lecturer at their annual summer school.
