I am a qualitative research fellow working on the HAMLET trial with Dr Maureen Twiddy and Mr George Smith. The HAMLET trial is an NIHR-funded multi-centre randomised trail comparing through-knee with above-knee amputation. My role on the trial is to conduct qualitative interviews with patients who consent or decline to take part in the HAMLET trial to better understand the trial processes from the patient perspective. I will also conduct longitudinal qualitative interviews to explore the quality of life of people recovering from both types of amputation.
I completed my BSc(hons) in Physiotherapy in 2013 at Sheffield Hallam University and have worked clinically in a variety of settings, most recently vascular surgery, amputee rehabilitation, and orthopaedic surgery.
I completed my PhD at HYMS in 2023 with a thesis titled A Mixed Methods Study of Outcomes, Experiences, and Perceptions of Through-Knee and Above-Knee Amputation.
I am a member of the British Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in limb Absence Rehabilitation.
