Research

Research overview

Beliefs about health and illness

The beliefs both patients and carers hold about chronic illness and how these can influence a range of outcomes including mood, quality of life and help-seeking behaviour. Currently projects include exploring the nature of illness uncertainty in the carers of patients with Parkinson's disease.

Coping with illness

The strategies patients use to cope with neurodegenerative conditions and factors which influence coping style. Currently collaborating with colleagues at Bangor University to explore resilience in Parkinson's disease.

Cognitive impairment

The impact of cognitive impairment on a range of outcomes including coping behaviours and well-being. Currently collaborating with colleagues in Health Services Research on a study investigating cognitive impairment following chemotherapy in colorectal cancer.

Quality of life

Identifying clinical and psychosocial variables which affect quality of life in both Parkinson's disease and dementia. Recently begun collaborating on a project with cardiologists at St George's, University of London researching quality of life after aortic valve replacement.
