Biography
Lisa is the Director of Research for the School of Primary and Allied Health Care. She is based in the department of Occupational Therapy and teaches into Graduate Entry and Undergraduate courses.
Her research has built on her PhD (completed in 2011) which incorporated quantitative (RCT, cohort, and audit) and qualitative methods to explore the issue of treatment adherence in people with acute hand injuries. She now has two key streams of research:
- Clinical research, specifically the management of upper limb injuries
- Health Services Research, including workforce design and health literacy
She is a member of Monash Health's Allied Health Research Unit, working as a post-doc research fellow across several multidisciplinary projects.
