Background

I am a clinical researcher with special interests in dementia care and neuropsychology. Much of my previous research has explored the utility of psychostimulants for neurocognitive late effects and fatigue in long-term neurological conditions. My research within the institute is based upon exploring primary care-led dementia care within the North-East, and attitudes/preferences towards dementia screening.

I currently work as part of the primary care-led post diagnostic dementia care (PriDem) team, developing evidence-based person-centred sustained models for future care.
