Paul Ward

While I'm a Professor of Public Health, I'm also a sociologist, a dad, a partner and a huge live music fan.

My research is situated at the intersections of health, medicine, risk, trust, (in)equality and lay epidemiology, and the theoretical and methodological lenses that are brought to these intersections.

Paul’s main research interests are around socio-spatial inequalities and inequities in health, medicine usage and the provision of health and social care. Paul also has a particular interest in research around lay and professional perceptions, knowledge and understandings of health, health care, medicines, risk and trust.
