Dr Sonia Dalkin

Sonia is an Associate Professor in Applied Health Research with specific interests in palliative care and complex social interventions. She has significant experience in realist approaches, which aim to evaluate and further understand interventions (or programmes), asking not only ‘if’ an intervention works, but also how it works, for whom, in which circumstances and to what extent. Sonia has predominantly conducted research on realist evaluations of palliative and end of life care interventions delivered in the community and primary care. She also has an interest in inequalities in palliative and end of life care.
