Clinical Lead BSLTRU,

Professional Head Adult & Acute Speech and Language Therapy Services,

Visiting Research Fellow Sheffield Hallam

I am the Professional Head of the Speech and Language Therapy Service North Bristol NHS Trust, Clinical Lead at the Bristol Speech and Language Therapy Research Unit and a Visiting Research Fellow with the Centre for Health and Social Care Research, Sheffield Hallam University. I qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist at University College, London and have coaching qualifications as a performance and a health coach. I have over 30 years’ clinical experience working with adults with communication and swallowing difficulties resulting from acquired neurological conditions and specialised in communication and swallowing difficulties related to stroke, progressive neurological conditions and traumatic brain injuries. Professionally I represented the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists for the Department of Health’s Stroke Strategy and Stroke Programme Board and was part of the expert panel of  the Royal College of Physicians Intercollegiate Stroke Working Party. I am now developing my own research programme in language impairment in Parkinson’s disease and the use of health coaching in an acute setting. I bring to research my experience as a clinician, manager and coach. My interests are in making clinical services effective, cost efficient and responsive to the goals of the person with communication and or swallowing difficulties.
