Research interests

My research interests fall under two broad fields: 

  1. Nutrition & Ageing 
  2. Dietetic Practice

My current areas of research are:
Nutrition and Ageing
  • Exploration of factors contributing to the development of sarcopenia (using Biobank data)
  • Improving nutritional care at the interface between acute and community healthcare (With Anna Julian, PhD student, ICL)
  • Nutritional Care of people with dementia and their carers (With Louise Wilkinson, PenCLAHRC PhD student)
  • Effects of nitrate and nitrite on health (With Raul Bescos, Ann Ashworth, PhD student and Craig Cutler, PhD student) 
Dietetic Practice
  • Examining the evidence for first contact dietetic roles within primary care
  • Understanding the dietetic workforce of the future
  • Prioritisation of referrals for dietetic assessment in acute adult services
  • Estimating ascitic fluid weight and its impact on nutritional assessment in liver patients
  • Nutritional care in ICU
  • Improving hospital food provision
  • Iron requirements for those with excess losses
