Biography

I graduated as a Physiotherapist in 1994 and worked clinically in the field of Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation and Rheumatology for 7 years. In 2002, I joined the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ as a lecturer, delivering and teaching modules on the BSc Physiotherapy course and was also responsible for the development of clinical education within the programme. I completed my MSc at the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ in 2004 and a PgCHE in 2007. I have been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy since 2015

In 2009, I was awarded a prestigious Allied Health Professionals Fellowship by Arthritis Research UK . My PhD was an epidemiological study investigating the associations between knee pain, radiographic severity and ultrasound features in a community population. As part of my Fellowship I undertook an intensive course in Applied Epidemiology in 2010 at the University of Aberdeen.

Since completing my PhD, I have returned my role as a lecturer in the School of Health Sciences. I lead on a number of undergraduate courses including Evidence-based practice, Rheumatology, Physical activity & Health, and the final year Dissertation Project. My educational interests include the use of peer assessment in formative and summative assessment and the use of online teaching and research led teaching. I am also the exam officer for the undergraduate programmes. I supervise MSc students and PhD students across the Faculty.

I collaborate closely with the Division of Academic Rheumatology and the Versus Arthritis Pain Centre at the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ on a number of research projects. I am a co-investigator on an NIHR BRC project developing a complex nurse-led intervention for knee pain.

Expertise Summary

Osteoarthritis remains my condition of interest in terms of research, though I have an appreciation for a wide range of musculoskeletal and chronic pain conditions. I am particularly interested the use of exercise, physical activity and lifestyle interventions for these conditions.

I have experience in a range of quantitative research study designs including epidemiology studies (cohort and case-control studies), feasibility studies and RCTs.

My teaching expertise includes the management and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal diseases and disorders, physical activity for health and evidence-based practice.
