I came to Keele in 2005, having previously worked for Stoke PCT as a project coordinator in the department of Health Promotion and as a research officer for a national charity. My undergraduate degree is a BSc (Hons) in Diagnostic Radiography (1994) and I have completed postgraduate education including a MSc in Human Osteology and Palaeopathology (2001) and a PhD (2010) (title: Patterns of radiographic hand osteoarthritis and associations with pain and function: a prospective cohort study).
My research interests include:
- Epidemiology of hand and foot OA
- Radiographic Imaging
- Ultrasound
- Subtypes of hand OA including erosive OA
- Joint distribution of OA
- Plantar fasciitis
