Personal profile
Overview
I am currently employed as a Nutrition Research Associate in the Division of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work. My current role includes the project management of clinical nutrition trials in people with malnutrition, cancer or intestinal failure with data collection using surveys, body composition measures and mobile applications. Previous nutrition research projects I have led on include interventions with nutritional oral sip-feeds and the management of the largest, longitudinal national study investigating the relationship between home parenteral support and quality of life in patients with intestinal failure. I also have experience in the management of literature reviews, Cochrane reviews, James Lind Alliance projects and led on a project for setting research priorities in malnutrition and nutritional screening.
My current work includes development and validation of the MUST mobile application for malnutrition screening and the management of a validation study for VISCGO sticks, which are used to measure liquid thickness for the management of dysphagia.
