Research Interests

Over the past three years I have been working for the South London and Maudsley Hospital, with older people suffering from dementia. This has led me to my current research project of investigating the nutritional up keep of people with dementia, the role food plays for them, their caregivers and the coping strategies employed in order to maintain a healthy and balanced diet.

Dementia is an important health and social care issue affecting many of people and their families later in life.
With my PHD I’m hoping to highlight and improve food-related quality of life, through care management. A food related care intervention program for informal carers of people with dementia will also be developed and evaluated.
