Research is important because it guides best practice, helps to uncover the things we need to look at in more detail and explores what people think about feel about their conditions or the therapy they have experienced so that we can provide the best therapy possible.
My research has primarily been focussed on eliciting experiences or giving a voice to people's feelings; for example surgeons and front line medical staff who have been experiencing post traumatic stress symptoms through their work; hearing from people with a little known physical health condition called Inducible Laryngeal Obstruction; or from medical students working for the first time on their cancer rotation.
I have also contributed research into how best to help people with asthma where stress, anxiety or low mood may exacerbate their symptoms, or post traumatic stress has arisen as a result of an attack.
Once this work has been done, publishing it ensures that the work can be accessed by others who are interested or working in that field. Where available, I have provided links to the abstracts, or summaries of the studies I have worked on.
