Biography
Emma Rowland is an emotional and health geographer and qualitative researcher in the Research Division of Long Term Conditions. Her research interests focus on the emotion management - emotional labour and emotion work of health professionals and ambulance crew delivering care in the NHS and the emotion management (emotion work) of family members (parents, siblings, grandparents) caring for patients with long term conditions, genetic conditions or disease.
Emma is also interested in the development of psycho-social and emotional interventions to support the well-being of both health professionals and patients and their family members. Public Engagement research/activities/events are also of great interest to Emma, and she is looking to pursue this area further.
