Professional life

Watson's clinical area is gerontological nursing with a special interest in mealtime and nutritional difficulties of older people with dementia. His research into the alleviation of mealtime difficulty in people with dementia led to the development of the "Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia Scale".[9] Watson is a proponent of the application of Mokken scaling in nursing research and has also contributed to the understanding of the general application of Mokken scaling and the influence of sample size on Mokken scaling parameters.[10][11][12][13]

Watson has visiting positions in Slovenia, Australia, Hong Kong, Ireland and Italy.[14][15][16][17][18] He served as a member of the sub-panel for Nursing and Midwifery in the UK Research Assessment Exercise in 2008, and in 2014 on the sub-panel for Dentistry, Allied Health Professions, Nursing and Pharmacy in the UK Research Excellence Framework.[19][20]
