Lawton's first book, titled The Dying Process: Patient Experiences of Palliative Care took an ethnographic look at dying within a hospice setting in modern day Britain. The book has been described as 'lifting the lid' on the challenging ethical practices of palliative care and despite proving controversial at the time of release remains a definitive text in this field.[5]
Lawton has conducted a considerable amount of research into the lived illness experiences and management of health conditions, including much research in the field of diabetes. Within this field Lawton has contributed to our understanding of the barriers to effective diabetes (self-)management and the benefits of tailored health education programmes.[6]
