Paul is a Research Associate in the Health Management Research Group within Imperial College. Here his work concentrates on an examination of the Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) for Northwest London. He previously held a research post in the School of Medicine, Cardiff University where he undertook a qualitative analysis of General Practitioners perspectives of incentivised patient feedback surveys. His work seeks to employ a critical (theoretical) approach to organisations, technology and innovation which draws upon post-structural theoretical perspectives.

Paul has a PhD in Social Sciences from Cardiff University, which was funded by the Economic & Social Research Council (sociology stream), and a Masters degree in Social Science Research Methods. His doctoral research was based upon an ethnography of legitimation, representation and supplementarity within a hospital context, whilst his Masters research focussed upon concealing and revealing practices of speechlessness and interaction.

In a previous incarnation, Paul was a clinical nurse and has a first class honours degree and postgraduate qualifications in nursing and intensive care. His research interests are centred on technologies, materiality, the body, organisation and cultural life, particularly through the ways that technologies of organising and technologies of blips and whirrs can re-order social relations and the consequences of such re-figurings on social life.
