Biography
I am a community physiotherapist by background, working previously
for the NHS across urban and rural areas of Yorkshire over many years. Over
the past decade I have gradually moved into research, driven by the desire to
better influence quality of care and from that, enhance people’s quality of
life. I have assisted in recruitment to Primary Care focussed research
projects, the delivery of an exercise intervention in a multi-centre trial for
older people with frailty and supported with the governance process of study
set-up within an NHS organisation. I worked with people with dementia during my
role 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 at
the University of Bradford and found the teaching positively impactful, both
within 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
