As an intensive care nurse by background, I’ve had a passion for improving the outcomes of critically ill patients. My research interests lie in the area of the recovery of critically ill people and young adults' stroke rehabilitation. My other interests include:

• Post-intensive care syndrome

• Intensive care unit delirium

• Science communication

• Social media research

• Evidence synthesis

• Realist evaluation

My doctoral thesis aims to contribute to a better understanding of early mobilisation in mechanically ventilated patients. I conducted a systematic integrative review on the definition and activities of early mobilisation. I also carried out a constructivist grounded theory study, looking at processes and experiences of staff involved in early mobilisation practice.
