Julie Robinson


My main research interests are related to developmental psychology, in particular the development of children between conception and school age, and palliative care. My research in developmental psychology has focussed on peer relations between children from different ethnic backgrounds and the well-being of refugee children. My interest in palliative care relates to cognitive impairment, pain and depression in terminally ill cancer patients and the determinants of doctors' prognoses.
