Patricia Blardony Miranda

Adopting a human rights lens, my PhD project explores doctrinal tensions between Article 25 (right to health) of the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and the National Health Service (NHS) entitlements framework on migrant mental health in England. I plan to investigate the practical and ethical implications of these tensions through a case study of the lived experiences of Filipino migrant women. My PhD thesis adopts a transformative-emancipatory approach and incorporates a collaborative reform agenda with the goal of informing improvements to the NHS entitlements framework on migrant mental health, which may assist future migrant health-related policy and legislation.
