研究领域

Prof Gilhooly's research concerns issues surrounding ageing and older adults, and has covered topics as varied as petitioning the House of Lords on the subject of 'living wills' to research on the effects of playing chess and doing crosswords on cognitive ability in old age. Prof Gilhooly conducted one of the first studies in the UK on family care of people with dementia. Research funded by the ESRC includes studies on (a) transport and ageing, and (b) quality of life and real life cognitive functioning. More recently Professor Gilhooly has turned her attention to whether or not alcoholic consumption amongst baby boomers will be a threat to Ageing Studies. Her many years of experience of research in the fields of dementia, health psychology and medical sociology, and medical law and ethics led to her heading up a number of Britain's leading centres in the field, including Co-Directorship of the Institute of Law and Ethics in Medicine at the University of Glasgow. Prof Gilhooly established Scotland's first centre of social gerontology at the University of Paisley in 1994.
