Biography

Qualifying in 2015, Alice has worked as a nurse across a range of acute clinical environments, primarily cardiology and emergency care. Alice later completed an MSc in Human Anatomy at Edinburgh University undertaking a 3D bioprinting dissertation project looking at recreating the anatomical structure of an enthesis (connection tissue between bone and tendon).

In Sept 2019, Alice joined Edinburgh Napier University as a research assistant working on a three year feasibility randomised controlled trial to co-design a mobile app to increase medication adherence in atrial fibrillation. Whilst working with the team Alice has worked on multiple projects within atrial fibrillation and physical activity and works across both university and clinical settings. Alice has a special interest in co-design, delphi and realist review methodology.

Alice is currently undertaking her PhD part time exploring integrated atrial fibrillation approaches to service delivery within Scotland. This includes a realist review looking at what, how and for whom an integrated atrial fibrillation approach will work.
