Hilary Stewart is a Research Fellow at the Lancaster Medical School, currently working on two major NIHR-funded projects: GRACE (Gynae Radiotherapy Consent Enhancement) and PARITY (exploring prehabilitation quality in cancer surgery). As both a sociologist and qualitative researcher, her work bridges social theory with practical healthcare challenges.
