Naoimh McMahon
Welfare Officer
I am a postgraduate student 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 MPhil/PhD research is funded by the NIHR Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) North West Coast. I am looking at interdisciplinary perspectives of upstream action to reduce health inequalities. I am delighted to be involved with the SSM ECR Subcommittee to assist with developing the Network Platform. I look forward to promoting and facilitating a positive and safe online space that can work to develop ideas and collaboration within the SSM community.
