Primary Care & Health Sciences

I have been employed as a Research Associate within the Arthritis Research UK Primary Care Centre at Keele University since 2009. I am a physiotherapist by background (University of Liverpool) and also have a BSc (hons) degree in Human Movement Science (University of Liverpool) and an MSc in Sport Psychology (Liverpool John Moores University).

Currently I am undertaking doctoral training on the clinical epidemiology of symptomatic foot osteoarthritis, with special reference to the midfoot, funded by a Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health professions Research Training Fellowship. I am also a member of the Centre’s clinical epidemiology clinical assessment team involved in data collection through research assessment clinics at the Haywood Hospital.
