![]() A key focus is on the rehabilitation of impaired mobility and balance, a cardinal feature of many neurological conditions. I have a particular interest in the field of adult neurology, and more specifically multiple sclerosis (MS). I collaborate closely with others to ensure, where appropriate, the integration of mechanistic work and health economics analysis. My research programme reflects this continuum, extending from undertaking systematic and scoping reviews, utilising a variety of qualitative methods for both developmental and evaluative purposes, and designing and undertaking both single and multi-site clinical trials. Qualitative work is invariably integral to the development of these trials from their outset, as is working closely with patients and carers to design studies and translate their findings into practice. My research predominately involves the design and implementation of randomised clinical trials. My research programme centres on the development and evaluation of complex rehabilitation interventions reflecting the priority given by health services to providing evidence based management.
