Bio
My current role with the Faculty of Health and Social Care in the Open University is multi-faceted and enables me to be involved in research, teaching, supervision and external collaborations. http://www.open.ac.uk/people/jv2595.
My research is oriented in four main directions:
a) Health policy and planning: evaluation and improvement of health service delivery; and addressing the future health needs of communities.
b) Public health / health of citizens and populations domain: improvement of outcomes for elderly persons & evidence base used for improving patient / student outcomes in health care.
c) Education and improvement of skills, specifically, in mental health professionals.
d) Development of evidence base in several areas of health and social care.
I have experience of researching, teaching and learning in the area of Health and Social Care & Public Health. Previous academic and management responsibilities (as Programme Director for Top Up Nursing Degree – City University London) included teaching, the development of teaching curricula and the co-ordination of teams of teaching and administrative staff. I have also been undertaking a number of satellite responsibilities such as participating in Board of Studies, CPPD Advisory Board, Ethics Committees, chairing academic committees, leading staff-student liaison committees, programme periodic reviews and employing external examiners and providing extensive pastoral care and academic support to BSc, Master and PhD level students. I have also started serving as academic reviewer for higher education institutions and a panel member for validation events.
I have an on-going interest in ways via which we can improve health and quality of life outcomes in older adults. For the past 14 years I have been teaching clinicians, allied health professionals and the public on how to do so. I have been presenting my ‘Ageing Well’ Lecture Series in collaboration with Third Age University and Free Time University overseas and more recently in collaboration with primary care practices in the UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPeKzzjKwmU&feature=youtu.be These lectures are also a component of an international online education platform for clinicians and allied health professionals via the UKeMED, based in Addenbrookes Hospital. I am regularly invited to give public lectures regionally, nationally and internationally and I am member of several committees at University and regional level such as the East of England Academic Health Science Network and the UKeMED network to which I act as advisor on ageing. http://www.ukemed.com/site/index
I have an ongoing interest in ways by which we can improve postural stability in older adults, living with or without dementia, through physical exercise interventions. See more at https://www.keepmewalking.info/.
I am also making a contribution to the development of evidence base for the effective use of eHealth applications. This is multidisciplinary and international in collaboration with Imperial College London, the Nanyang Technological University Singapore & Karolinska Institutet Sweden.
I currently hold honorary contracts with City University London and the University of Buckinghamshire. I have held honorary contracts with UCL, Barts and the London, whilst keeping active research networks with Imperial CollegeLondon and Charles University in Prague.
I was recently Co-Investigator in a NIHR-funded research project. I am also external collaborator in research projects in epidemiology. I serve as a reviewer for several funding bodies, research journals and member of several editorial boards. I have been recently appointed as Academic Consultant on BBC Programme Series titled All in the Mind.
