My research interests cover a wide range from bioscience through epidemiology, psychological interventions and health services research. My main areas of work have involved evidence based mental health, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions in dementia, collaborative projects in neurology and UK/US studies in dementia; both interventions and outcome research at the interface of primary and secondary care. I have been involved in 6 clinical trials of investigational medicinal products as lead and Co-investigator.
Currently I am pursuing a research strategy of novel medication usage for dementia, health service research in the UK and USA in dementia and protection of cognition in vulnerable hospitalised elders.
I spent 6 years researching trauma/personality assessments and treatment and psychometric assessment development with the Ministry of Defence. Then I went into the NHS and undertook and MD on anger characterisation in elderly mentally ill.
In the last 10 years I undertook 2 Cochrane reviews in dementia. In 2004 I set UK/US collaborations with colleagues which are ongoing. We have jointly co-developed work on the harms of screening, medication trials in dementia, collaborative care in dementia and the anticholinergic burden scale.
I worked as a consultant for 9 years and developed an applied research strategy. I am presently working on funded projects on collaborative care in dementia, screening in dementia, inpatient rehabilitation in dementia and assistive technology in dementia.
