I qualified as a physiotherapist in Glasgow, then worked in various acute and primary care NHS settings, latterly developing expertise in caring for people who are homeless. I joined Kingston and St George's as a senior lecturer in 2012 and now teach on the pre-reg BSc and MSc physiotherapy programmes. I lead a clinical skills module, support students on practice placement, provide pastoral support to personal tutees and am responsible for pre- and post-reg research supervision. My research interests focus on homeless and excluded populations and their access to healthcare and physical activity interventions for health gain. I have carried out research in Zambia, evaluating HIV educational programmes in the farming and mining industries. I'm currently collaborating with various charities, including: Crisis, providing a physiotherapy service for homeless people; The Bike project, evaluating bicycle provision and training for refugees; and, A Mile in Her Shoes, evaluating jogging groups for homeless women.
