Psychological care in physical health settings, neuropsychology.
I have particular experience and interest in research related to improving psychological care in motor neuron disease (MND) / amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This includes research related to the wider system, including people living with MND/ALS, their personal support network, and healthcare professionals, and how to integrate psychological principles into all aspects of physical healthcare.
