I am currently Senior Research Assistant (Psychology) in the ϲ Psychology and Communication Technology (PaCT) lab. I have joined a multi-disciplinary research team on the externally funded (EPSRC) 'RIICE' project developing a remote system for self-assessment of chewing – the long-term aim being intervention development to explore and address chewing difficulty and related wellbeing and quality of life parameters. I am also Senior Research Assistant (Nursing) on the NIHR-funded, PPI-guided 'iSupport-PD' project, jointly delivering a feasibility randomised control trial of a PPI-led online support and resources package for carers of people with Parkinson's-related cognitive impairment. Finally, I am co-investigator on an EPSRC multi-disciplinary community-led NortHFutures project; 'Empowering Voices: A Pilot Project Exploring the Impact of Digital Storytelling on Older Adults with Multiple Long-Term Conditions.' I have been involved in university psychology teaching and research since around 2015 after several years as a dentist in general practice and as a health promotion specialist at community and strategic levels. My PhD involved an extensive PPIE-guided exploratory study of eating experience with early intervention development for people with Sjögren disease. This included application of a novel ethnographic methodology - foodplay.
Quality of life, clinician-patient interaction, long-term illness experience - including self-management and remote systems, intervention development, PPIE and person-centred research, and broader oral health, eating experience, health psychology and related themes.
