Biography

Appointed as a 50th Anniversary Chair in 2017 to work within the Faculty of Health and build on clinical - academic education and research strategies. As one of the few joint appointments at a professorial level, the role is shared with her ongoing clinical, research and leadership commitment at consultant AHP level at The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

Having been at the forefront of radiographer role development for over the last 2 decades this role provides an opportunity to utilise contemporary clinical knowledge alongside applied research skills. She leads the postgraduate radiographer advanced practice programme alongside Prof Maryann Hardy, bringing her experience in radiographer reporting to the academic setting.

Experience in strategic healthcare leadership means that her research spans a broad portfolio including service redesign, advanced role utilisation and evidence based practice.

Research

  • Role extension
  • Advanced practice (radiography and multiprofession)
  • Clinical pathway redesign and evaluation
  • Evidence based techniques
  • Diagnostic imaging
Current research explores the utilisation of cone-beam CT in the redesign of clinical pathways, early evidence in scaphoid fractures. Evidence based techniques in digital radiography including pelvis, knee and foot.
