Profile of Dr Olalekan Ojedokun, Researcher at Sheffield Hallam University
Dr Julie Skilbeck
I have worked at Sheffield Hallam for 8 years. My research interests focus on frailty in older age and I am due to complete my PhD in June 2014 – I undertook ethnographic case studies to explore how older people with complex health problems experience frailty in later life. I have also had clinical and research experience in critical and palliative care so I am able to teach a range of subject areas across both the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. I am actively involved in the department and am currently a module leader, a post that I enjoy.
