Carole Rawcliffe sa zameriava na teóriu a prax medicíny v stredovekom Anglicku, so zvláštnym dôrazom na nemocnice, prepojenie liečenia a náboženstva a mestské zdravie. Skúma tiež stredoveké reakcie na choroby, ako je lepry. Jej súčasný výskum sa sústreďuje na koncepty zdravia a starostlivosti pred reformáciou.
