Respiratory Medicine
Clinical research in bronchiectasis focuses on airway clearance, mucus management, and the use of hypertonic saline alongside physiotherapy approaches to improve secretion mobilisation.
- Bronchiectasis
- Airway clearance techniques
- Mucus clearance
The respiratory portfolio is centred on symptomatic treatment strategies for chronic suppurative lung disease in a hospital-based setting.
Critical Care and Sedation
Research activity in neurocritical care and the intensive care unit addresses sedation, analgesia, and nociception monitoring in deeply sedated patients.
- Neurocritical patients
- Inhaled sedation
- Objective nociception monitoring
These studies also examine opioid use and neuromuscular relaxation within complex critical care management.
Orthopaedic Surgery and Post-operative Care
Work in orthopaedic surgery concentrates on recovery after total hip arthroplasty, with interest in post-operative lower limb oedema and anti-inflammatory treatment to support symptom control.
- Total hip arthroplasty
- Lower limb oedema
- Post-operative inflammation
The clinical focus is on reducing swelling and improving early post-surgical comfort in patients undergoing major joint replacement.
Paediatric Endocrinology and Metabolic Health
Paediatric research includes girls with advanced puberty and accelerated bone maturation, with attention to pubertal timing, bone age advancement, and metabolic risk.
- Advanced puberty
- Accelerated bone maturation
- Metabolic health
This area also encompasses polycystic ovary syndrome and related endocrine-metabolic patterns in adolescent girls.
