My research areas are speech and swallowing in adults, and swallowing in children.
I work with Prof Cath Sackley (King's College London), Prof Carl Clarke (U of Birmingham) and Prof Marian Brady (Glasgow Caledonian University) in a multi-centre phase III RCT examining Speech and Language Therapy in people with Parkinson's disease coordinated through Birmingham CTU. This is a five year project funded by the NIHR.
I currently work with NIHR PhD students investigating eating drinking and swallowing difficulties in children and adults.
In swallowing, I work in the areas of both typical swallowing and the breakdown in swallowing, including rehabilitation approaches for impaired swallowing. This research is translational and involves close collaborations with academic and clinical colleagues.
