Welfare Officer
I am a Research Associate in the Faculty of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). In 2010 I qualified as a physiotherapist, before completing an MA in Health Promotion at the National University of Ireland, Galway. Prior to starting my postgraduate studies, I worked as a Research Physiotherapist in the Stroke Research Team at UCLan. This research examined innovative approaches to increasing upper limb exercise in stroke rehabilitation units. My PhD research, funded by the NIHR Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) North West Coast, looked at interdisciplinary perspectives of upstream action to reduce health inequalities. I am delighted to be involved with the SSM ECR Subcommittee to assist in raising the profile of ECR welfare.
