OPEN HOUSE ISSUE 335
HEALTH AND WELLBEING
Welcome to the June issue of Open House, dedicated in the most part to the theme of health and wellbeing.
Our guest editor for this issue is Martin Murray, lecturer in Adult Nursing at the University of the West of Scotland. Prior to that Martin was the community nurse for homeless people in Inverclyde for eleven years. He has spent most of his nursing career looking after the health of marginalised groups particularly homeless people and people with drug addictions.
He has a particular interest in healthcare ethics and Catholic Social Teaching and has a Doctorate in Practical Theology from Glasgow University where he investigated the ethics of providing a supervised injecting facility for people who inject illegal drugs.
He is married to Claire, and they have six adopted children and one adopted dog.
Martin has gathered a formidable group of contributors for this important theme of health and wellbeing and we hope you enjoy reading their work.
