Pip worked clinically as an occupational therapist in the community with people who have long term health conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, frailty, musculoskeletal disorders, and dementia. Her research interests are in line with her clinical role, and she has just completed the largest study in UK care homes, developing and evaluating a programme to prevent falls, funded by the National Institute for Health and Social Care Research (£2.2M).
