Personal profile
Research Interests
I have an interest in researching neurological rehabilitation broadly and more specifically in spatial attention and spatial neglect following stroke. I completed my PhD in 2024 which developed consensus recommendations for the screening and assessment of spatial neglect. The outcomes provide guidance for clinicians on how to screen and assess for all aspects of spatial neglect.
Research Expertise
I have expertise in completing systematic and scoping reviews, Delphi methodology studies, and translating evidence into practice by applying the behaviour change wheel to implementation studies.
Supervisor Philosophy
I have a very collaborative supervisor style which will adapt and change depending on the students preferred style of learning and the stage of the PhD project. I will provide guidance and support to ensure the student meets the project deadlines, while encouraging them to lead the planning and organisation of the project.
