Practice Development Lead for Rehabilitation in Leeds Community Health Trust. Early career researcher, interested in (Adults) Complex rehabilitation. Clinical background is neurological rehabilitation. Research expertise/experience: I completed the NIHR MRes in 2018, my dissertation area was people with multiple sclerosis attitudes to the use of mobile apps for symptom monitoring. I went through university ethics for this. I undertook focus groups and 1:1 semi structured interview, using thematic analysis to analyse the results. I gained experience of dissemination at local, national, and international conferences with posters and oral presentations of my findings.
I was on the coordinating group and clinical expert for a research project that used participatory methodology to understand how people with long term neurological conditions the family and carers manage pressure ulcer prevention in the home. This was published at the end of last year, and we are now setting up a second study where we will be co designing a tool to support people management pressure ulcer prevention and care I the home environment. In my previous job I ran a Physiotherapy research group, in a large teaching hospital trust. This was a very active group with mixed experience from research curious, running clinical appraised topics, delivering research, on clinical academic career pathways (including doctoral fellowships) and university representatives.
