Biography

I am a community physiotherapist by background, working previouslyfor the NHS across urban and rural areas of Yorkshire over many years. Overthe past decade I have gradually moved into research, driven by the desire tobetter influence quality of care and from that, enhance people’s quality oflife. I have assisted in recruitment to Primary Care focussed researchprojects, the delivery of an exercise intervention in a multi-centre trial forolder people with frailty and supported with the governance process of studyset-up within an NHS organisation. I worked with people with dementia during myrole as a community physiotherapist and this is what sparked a deep interest in dementia. I have previously studied with the Centre for Applied Dementia Studies atthe University of Bradford and found the teaching positively impactful, bothwithin clinical work and at home.

Research

I am currently working on the DYNAMIC study, a research project about social care for people living with young onset dementia. Further details can be found through this link The DYNAMIC study
