Bridget has over 20 years clinical nursing experience, the majority being in acute neurosurgical and neuromedical nursing. She graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) in 2008 with a MSc Nursing (distinction) and has worked in health research at GCU ever since. Her research interest has focussed mainly on stroke, working on a number of projects at the Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Research Unit (NMAHP RU) at GCU. The James Lind Alliance Life after Stroke Priority Setting Partnership identified the Top 10 shared research priorities of stroke survivors, carers, and health professionals. Inspired by this project Bridget embarked on a CSO funded PhD fellowship (Long-term consequences of stroke: what is important to stroke survivors and health professionals?) that addressed the top stroke survivor priority relating to long-term stroke. Stroke survivor involvement was central to this PhD and PPI has been a focus of Bridget’s work ever since. Since 2017 Bridget has worked as Project Manager of the HEADS: UP study (Helping Ease Anxiety and Depression after Stroke); the online RCT pilot study has just been completed. She is currently completing a qualitative review on mindfulness after stroke that will inform future HEADS: UP work.
