研究领域

To this end, I specialise in promoting, developing and supporting national and international non-traditional and role-emerging practice placements for our occupational therapy students. I also mentor therapists working in role emerging environments. My research and development interests focus around ergonomic design of equipment and systems for optimum accessibility and usability by individuals and groups of people. As an extension of this interest, I am the Occupational Therapy representative on the Southampton panel of REMAP. Additional interests include the use of animals and natural environments in therapy and these aspects are built into the Occupational Therapy pre-registration programme. In 2015, I collaborated in setting up a national occupational therapy special interest group in Equine Based Therapies.
