My PhD research involved conducting a multi-centre feasibility randomised controlled trial to determine the feasibility of a functional standing frame programme (prolonged standing and sit to stand repetitions) for people with severe sub-acute stroke, compared to usual physiotherapy. I also conducted a systematic review to determine the evidence for non-pharmacological interventions to treat orthostatic hypotension in elderly people and people with a neurological condition.

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

Clinical Doctoral Research Fellow [2016-2019]
Funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research I undertook a three year Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowship. My research is entitled: A randomised controlled feasibility trial to investigate the effects of a functional standing frame programme versus usual physiotherapy in people with severe sub-acute stroke on function, quality of life and neuromuscular impairment.
I also conducted a systematic view: The effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions to treat orthostatic hypotension in the elderly and people with a neurological condition.

For 14 months of my Clinical Doctoral Research Fellowship I worked clinically as a Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist in Stroke and Neurology in Cornwall. This involved working with people with complex needs as a result of neurological conditions in the community. I continue to work in this role on an flexible basis alongside my academic role. This allows me to maintain my competency in non-medical prescribing. This valuable training enables me to provide holistic care to my patients by assessing and managing both their physical and pharmacological needs.

Specialist Physiotherapist in Stroke Rehabilitation
In a 21-bedded inpatient sub-acute setting in Cornwall [August 2009 to March 2016]
Undertaking specialist assessments, implementing specialist interventions/management plans , monitoring and evaluation using outcome measures, patient-centred goal-setting, inter-disciplinary working, promoting 24 hour theraputic approach and holistic management and facilitating long-term self-management. Using Bobath approach and movement science as appropriate, and adjuncts such as electrical stimulation (micro stim and Functional Electrical Stimulation), pilates (APPI trained), soft tissue release, swiss ball, orthotics/splints, post-botox management. Supervising and developing band 5 physiotherapists and support staff. Organising, contributing to and attending to in-service training. Service development.
