Research
Areas of Research
- Patient reported outcomes
- Breast reconstruction
- Head and neck reconstruction
Patient reported outcomes following free flap head and neck reconstruction following cancer resection. I am working with the Olsen Research Institute to institute a program to look at validated patient reported outcomes.
Improving patient’s access to information on breast reconstruction options including access to a network of people who have been through breast cancer treatment and reconstruction. I am creating a digital platform to connect patients to information and peer support. Decisional regret and patient satisfaction will be measured.
