Overview
I am graduate research assistant working on the Beetle project as part fo the ESMI team. The Beetle project wants to understand the impact of multi-component interventions which aim to improve recovery and length of hospital stay for older adults following a planned surgical procedures. The project will involve completing a quantitative and qualitative systematic review which will particularly focus on patient, carer, and staff experiences of these interventions. The findings of these two reviews will then be brought together to create a logic model which identifies aspects of care which are associated with positive or negative outcomes of the interventions.

Prior to Beetle, I worked on the HERO study (Home-based extended rehabilitation for older people), a multi-centre RCT establishing whether a home-based exercise intervention plus usual care as extended rehabilitation for older people with frailty improves health-related quality of life.
