Frances is an experienced clinician, researcher and scientist with her primary research focusing on the prevention and management of Diabetes related complications. Through her clinical and academic work, Frances has observed first-hand the devastating consequences of Diabetes related foot ulceration, including immobility, amputation, despair and subsequent depression. After completing a PhD looking at wound healing, she built a research team; including biomedical engineers to investigate, design and test low-cost support-surfaces which prevent ulceration. Her work adds to the growing body of evidence regarding ulcer prevention. Seeing her patients suffer has ignited a passion and drive to improve healthcare outcomes.
