Background

I qualified as a physiotherapist from Leeds in 1995 and subsequently worked at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. I started a full time PhD in 1998 at Queen Margaret University College, Edinburgh.

Following completion of my PhD in 2002 I worked clinically as a physiotherapist for a year before taking up a physiotherapy lecturing post in 2003.

I moved to my present post as a research fellow within the Centre for Integrated Healthcare Research based in Nursing Studies at Edinburgh University in January 2006.

One area of research interest is recovery and rehabilitation after a prolonged stay in intensive care.

The other main area of interest is the evaluation of techniques used in stroke rehabilitation, including treadmill training and functional electrical stimulation (FES).
