About me

Dominic is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Health and Social Wellbeing at UWE Bristol, where he teaches on the MSc Specialist Community Public Health Nursing programme. He is currently undertaking doctoral research at St. Mary's University, exploring the intersection of Catholicism and healthcare practice through phenomenological inquiry.

Before joining UWE, Dominic developed a diverse career across mental health nursing, public health, children's services and NHS corporate services in both the United Kingdom and Australia. His professional experience includes working with individuals presenting a high risk of violence and aggression, supporting school-aged children, and contributing to the strategic delivery of healthcare services. Prior to this he read Law at university and worked briefly in accounting.

Dominic's research interests centre on integrating the humanities with the health sciences, particularly in order to understand the role of religious faith in healthcare practice, professional identity and the relationship between faith and organisational culture. He also has research interests in religion as a social determinant of health, public and professional discourse surrounding child mental health, and public debate around overdiagnosis.

Alongside his academic role, Dominic serves as a Christian Faith Representative at UWE Bristol, providing pastoral support and opportunities for dialogue for students and colleagues who wish to explore matters of faith. For further information, please refer to the UWE Chaplaincy webpage.
