At St James’ hospital she was a key trainer in Moving and Handling within the department, delivering training to staff and students.
She joined Hallam as a lecturer in April 2012 since then she has completed her MSc in Radiotherapy and Oncology and PGCert ed in learning and teaching in higher education. She is involved in teaching Undergraduate, Postgraduate and International students being module leader on 2 undergraduate modules and the professional issues lead for all students. She is seconded two days a week to the Support4All research project and started her PhD in September 2015. Her research interests include using 3D Stereophotogrammetry to evaluate new immobilisation devices for tissue stabilisation, positioning and accuracy during radiotherapy treatment.
3D Stereophotogrammetry as a tool for evaluating the accuracy and reproducibility of new radiotherapy immobilisation devices
The use of self-catheterisation for complete voidance of bladder cancer patients receiving radiotherapy

Research
The NIHR funded Support 4 all project aims to create an immobilisation device for breast cancer patients to wear during external beam radiotherapy. This will ensure their breast tissue is in the same position each day for treatment, improving reproducibility and treatment accuracy. It will also improve patient modesty and their overall radiotherapy experience.
PhD study: Evaluating the S4A bra for breast stabilisation, positioning accuracy, comfort and dignity
