Profile

I completed my intercalated BMedSci in Medical Research in 2009 and my undergraduate medical degree at the ±¬ÁÏTV in 2012. Since then, I have worked in NHS hospitals in the Yorkshire region. I was the first appointed NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow in Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery in South Yorkshire in 2014.

I have undertaken a Health Education England Leadership Fellowship in 2020, and completed an MSc in Surgical Innovation in 2022 (Imperial College London) I have worked in multiple areas of the ±¬ÁÏTV including the Academic Unit of Medical Education, the Mellanby Centre, the Department of Oncology and Metabolism, and most recently at ScHARR as a PhD student and a Co-Applicant on an RCT run through the Clinical Trials Research Unit.

Research interests

PhD title: Predicting brace adherence and factors affecting brace preference in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

PhD studies include:

  • Dyadic paediatric patient and parent semi-structured interviews exploring treatment adherence
  • Development of an adherence prediction tool operationalising
  • Protection-Motivation Theory: A discrete choice experiment to explore patient preference and choice.

My clinical and research interests are within the fields of Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery, Spinal Surgery, and Surgical Education.

Current projects

  • BASIS Study: Bracing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: Full time vs Night time bracing
  • BAPQ Study: Validating a de novo adherence prediction tool in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
  • Brace DCE: A discrete choice experiment to explore patient preference and choice.
  • Post-operative documentation standardisation: Quality Improvement Project
  • Validation of thermal sensors to monitor patient adherence to orthotics in clinical trials
  • Use of EOS 3D modelling in the management of scoliosis (Brace design and Selective Thoracic Fusion)
