Professor Monica Busse-Morris
Director
- Available for postgraduate supervision
Overview
I am a chartered physiotherapist and trials methodologist based in the Centre for Trials Research, Cardiff University where we form partnerships with researchers and build lasting relationships with the public to tackle the big diseases and health concerns of our time. We aim to prevent ill-health, protect and prolong life by designing, developing and testing interventions to improve health and wellbeing and importantly work to understand the biological, environmental and social causes of disease and ill-health. I am also Director of the Health and Care Research Wales Faculty (https://healthandcareresearchwales.org/faculty), the core pillar of the All Wales national research career pathway, established in 2022.
I completed my undergraduate studies in Physiotherapy in South Africa and went on to complete further post-graduate qualifications in Ergonomics and Biomechanics. I have a longstanding interest in applied health research methods and hold a Diploma in Clinical Trials from London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I serve on the Medical Research Council Clinical Fellowships Panel, the NIHR Advanced Fellowship Panel NIHR Health Technology Assessment Funding Panel. I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy, an elected fellow of the Learned Society of Wales, the National Academy for Arts and Sciences in Wales and a Level 7 qualified executive coach and accredited Insights Practitioner.
During my PhD studies, I used 3D motion capture, surface EMG and wearable activity trackers to explore muscle weakness and function in a range of neurological disorders and throughout my research career have continued to progress these methods in a range of multi-centre observational, mechanistic and interventional studies and in laboratory and community settings. I am particularly interested in the development and evaluation of complex non-pharmacological interventions for people living with long term complex health conditions and exploring the interplay between modifiable and non-modifiable factors associated with disease progression. I have led a programme of research exploring mobility, physical and cognitive training and life-style approaches in Huntington’s Disease, many of which informed the publication, in 2020, of the first evidenced based international physiotherapy clinical guidelines for Huntington’s Disease.
I mentor early career clinicians and researchers in varied health and social care settings and lead a range of clinical studies and trials with national and international research teams, for example the DOMINO-HD consortium funded through the JPND Multinational research projects on Health and Social Care for Neurodegenerative Diseases, the NIHR funded LISTEN trial which is evaluating a co-designed self-management support intervention for long Covid and the NIHR funded TIPTOE trial which is focussing on older people with osteoarthritis and multi-morbidities. I have a longstanding commitment to public and patient involvement and codesign in research and established BRAIN Involve, the public involvement arm of the Wales Brain unit. I have active collaborations with researchers and clinicians working across a variety of health service settings (for example orthopaedics, critical care and autism spectrum disorder). My H-index (Scopus) is 28 and my life-time grant income is in the region of £28 000 000.00.

Engagement
As an executive coach and committed mentor of early and mid-career applied health researchers, I engage broadly in the allied health professional researcher development arena. I have been a mentor in the Future Leaders Fellows Development Networks’ Mentor 2021/22 and 2022/23 cycle and develop and deliver mentoring training for researchers working in applied health and social care research settings. I am an accredited Insights Practitioner and utilise this in a variety of researcher development initiatives specific to applied health and social care research. In my capacity of Director of Health and Care Research Wales Faculty, I am leading the strategic response to the Review of Research Careers in Wales jointly commissioned by Health and Care Research Wales, Social Care Wales and Health Education and Improvement Wales. I am a member of the Clinical Academic Training Forum Gender Inequalities Monitoring Principles and Obligations Working Group and the Council for Allied Health Professions Research.
I am a past elected member of the European Huntington’s Disease Executive Committee, an independent not for profit network dedicated to advancing research, conducting clinical trials and improving care for people affected by Huntington’s Disease. I have chaired plenary sessions at the past three European Plenary meetings, been a member of the Enroll-HD Scientific Review Committee, The Scientific and Ethics Bio advisory Group and a co-lead facilitator of the European Huntington's Disease Network (EHDN) physiotherapy working group where I was active in organising international group meetings for more than 6 years leading to established collaborations across the United Kingdom, Europe, USA and Australia. These collaborations have led to the publication of the first ever evidence informed clinical guidance for the management of physiotherapy for Huntington’s. These internationally recognised guidelines were published in Journal for Neurology in 2020. As a representative of the Cardiff Huntington's Disease clinic and Clinical Lead for Physiotherapy, I have spoken both locally and internationally on family days for people with HD where provision of knowledge and development of awareness may directly impact on a person's ability to cope with this particular long term neurological condition. I organised the highly successful Cardiff Huntington’s Disease Research Management Clinic Open days for 6 consecutive years and remain an active contributor to the event. I have been instrumental in establishing a Wales Huntington's Disease Involving People Group. This group is now joined with the Wales BRAIN unit, BRAIN Involve.
