Research Expertise

Description

My clinical background underpins my research on communication and swallowing disorders (dysphagia). Speech and Language Therapy is relatively young profession. We lack reliable assessments and interventions in aspects of communication and swallowing with negative consequences for patient care. Building evidence for better patient outcomes and improving research design is a consistent theme in my research. Measuring change as a result of treatment is fundamental in research and clinical practice. I devised Dysarthria Impact Profile ((Walshe et al. 2009) to assess psychosocial impact of dysarthria (acquired speech disorder) on the speaker. This remains one of the few instruments available in this area worldwide and is translated into 8+ languages. Furthermore, to address an urgent need for communication assessment in dementia, I secured funding and led development Profiling Communication Ability in Dementia (P-CAD) (Dooley et al. 2022). Other examples of leadership include examining the accuracy of current diagnostic dysphagia tests (Bechet et al. 2016; Calvo et al. 2016; Walshe et al. 2017), contributed to international test validation (Huckabee et al. 2018), published a European Position Statement on swallowing assessment (Speyer et al. 2021) and translation of a test for clinical use in Italy (Battel et al. 2018). Amalgamating evidence on existing dysphagia management led to my involvement with the international Cochrane Collaboration. I secured funding to lead three Cochrane reviews with international teams and am an invited member of Cochrane Rehabilitation contributing to evidence updates during COVID-19 (REH-COVER project) (Negrini et al. 2021). Exploring new treatments, and improving trial design is important to me. Clinical trials use different outcomes, and measure these differently making it impossible to conclude if treatments are effective overall. I lead the TCD COS-DIP project to improve trial design in dysphagia in Parkinson's disease. I currently collaborate on two funded UK clinical trials in critical care and cancer.
