Katie worked on a project with Professor Tim Rees (Faculty of Management) and Associate Professor Thomas Wainwright, entitled “Could the features and content of smartphone mental health apps be incorporated in apps for total hip replacement and total knee replacement surgery patients”.

I applied for this role as I was determined to gain experience and enhance my research skills in a respected facility. I have found this experience extremely useful as I developed new skills and knowledge within research beyond University level, which will be attractive to future career prospects.
