Luke Stalley is a PhD student. Luke is exploring the care practices of geriatricians working in NHS. Through shadowing, observation and interviews, his research appreciates the tensions and challenges of providing care amidst clinical uncertainty to hospitalised older adults who may - or may not be - approaching the end of their life. By paying attention to the technoscientific and sociomaterial practicalities of providing care Luke's thesis will articulate how shifts to 'non-life prolonging' forms of care become possible in the specificities of geriatric medical practice.
