Overall Summary

My research interests centre around optimising the care that patients with dementia and their families receive using a mixed methods approach. I am particularly interested in earlier diagnosis through risk prediction models in primary care to identify those at highest risk (including at-risk groups e.g. stroke-survivors) in order to receive timely diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

In particular, my work focusses on post-stroke care in the community with particular emphasis on looking after those either at risk or have subsequently developed cognitive impairment or dementia following their stroke. I am keen to unravel some of the challenges that patients may face in that regard by finding ways to reduce health inequalities in these populations. This includes working with practitioners across the healthcare system such as community pharmacists and pre-hospital practitioners particularly in aspects of disease prevention.
