Research
My research interests include the management of chronic health conditions. With particular interest in chronic lung diseases, cardiovascular risk factors and cancer.
Current projects include; $acirc; Assessment of Risk in Chronic Airways Disease Evaluation (ARCADE)$acirc; funded through the School of Medicine, Cardiff University. I am also working with the Cancer Trials Unit at Cardiff University, investigating the $acirc; the Role of Exercise in Patient with Cancer Cachexia$acirc;

Bywgraffiad
I graduated form the University of Salford in 2006, with a 1st class BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy degree.
Following this, I secured a sponsorship from rcbcwales (research capacity building collaboration, Wales) to undertake a PhD in respiratory physiotherapy at Cardiff University which I completed in December 2010.
Presently my research work includes patients with chronic lung disease and patients with cancer. I also contribute to teaching on the undergraduate and postgraduate physiotherapy courses, and I am currently undertaking the Postgraduate Certificate in Undergraduate Teaching and Learning (PCUTL).
Meysydd goruchwyliaeth
I am interested in supervising PhD students in the areas of:
- The impact of comorbidities in chronic lung disease
- The role of physical activity in chronic lung disease
- Developing and evaluating supportive interventions in cancer
