After completing a BSc in Anatomical Science in 2004, I joined the Musculoskeletal Research Unit and co-ordinated a number of orthopaedic studies, including randomised controlled trials and observational cohort studies. Between 2006-2010, I completed a PhD into the role of pre-operative pain sensitisation in the development of chronic pain after joint replacement. From 2009-2014, I was involved in a programme of work looking into improving patients' experience and outcome of joint replacement (RESTORE). I now work on another 5-year programme about improving the treatment and management of chronic pain after knee replacement (STAR). I am also currently leading on a randomised controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of outpatient physiotherapy after knee replacement.
