Biography:

Sabrina Grant is a Senior Lecturer in Applied Health Sciences at the University of Worcester. Prior to joining the University of Worcester, Sabrina was a Research Fellow (currently honorary) in the Musculoskeletal Research Unit at the University of Bristol. She is a chartered psychologist and divisional member of the health psychology (BPS). Sabrina has expertise in systematic reviews, clinical trials, cohort studies, embedded qualitative studies within RCTs and studies of mixed methods designs investigating primarily the self-management of chronic conditions. She is keen on interdisciplinary collaborations in research around areas of the self-management of long term conditions, health beliefs and behaviour, implementation of health technology/digital health and the patient-clinician interface. After gaining an MSc with a distinction in dissertation at the University of Bath Sabrina went on to work as a Research Assistant at Salomons, Centre of Applied Social & Psychological Development (part of Canterbury Christ Church University, Kent) before taking up a researcher training post funded by the Research Support Facility at the University of Birmingham. In that role she secured an RCGP grant and an MRC/ESRC Interdisciplinary Studentship award to investigate the prevalence of self-monitoring blood pressure in UK primary care and undertake mixed methods research looking at the psychological and motivational reasons for patients with hypertension to engage in home monitoring of blood pressure. Sabrina became a Research Fellow for an NIHR funded programme of work grant in collaboration with Oxford University and Cambridge University investigating the clinical significance of self-monitoring blood pressure within the National Health Service, UK. Sabrina gained her Chartership status from the British Psychological Society in 2016 and moved to the University of Bristol working within the Musculoskeletal Research Unit at Southmead Hospital, on an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded programme of work called SPHERE (http://www/irc-sphere.ac.uk). SPHERE is a University of Bristol project working with clinicians, engineers, designers and social care professionals as well as members of the public to develop sensors for the home to diagnose and help manage health and well-being conditions. The main project Sabrina led was the HEmiSPHERE study, the Hip and Knee study of a Sensor Platform for Healthcare in a Residential Environment (CI - Professor Rachael Gooberman-Hill). This study will find out how to make sure that the SPHERE sensor system can have value to health professionals and patients who are having hip or knee joint replacement. Sabrina has now moved as Senior Lecturer to the University of Worcester to undertake teaching and develop research within the Three Counties School of Nursing and Midwifery.
