Research interests

I have focused on the development of acute and early inpatient rehabilitation services for patients after vascular and traumatic brain injury, and have reflected this as founder consultant member and lead clinician of the novel Acute Brain Injury Service at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and University College London Hospitals, and clinical lead of the Homerton University Hospital Regional Neurological Rehabilitation Unit, as well as in my research output at the level of pathology, impairment and function after brain injury.
