An experienced clinician, I am also a researcher and scientist, my PhD explored the mediation of inflammation in the wound micro-environment in diabetes. My primary research interest is in the prevention and management of diabetes related foot disease and my current research focuses on advanced wound assessment using novel point of care techniques such as ultrasound and biochemistry. I also have an interest in personalised care such as activity monitoring and pressure offloading to prevent primary foot ulceration and ulcer recurrence. Having worked 'at the coalface' I have seen the devastating consequences of diabetes related foot ulceration and I now have collaborations with several high risk foot services conducting clinical research. I strive to find translatable solutions which will improve foot related outcomes in people with diabetes
