Her research on international retirement migration focuses on the migration and return of vulnerable, older British people within the EU and more recently the impact of Brexit.

She has developed the website www.supportinspain.info in collaboration with the British Consulate, Malaga.
Her research also explores social care in England, including social care innovation, micro enterprise and market shaping.

She draws on participatory approaches to research by including vulnerable groups as co-researchers to design, implement and disseminate research.
