PhD scholarship for Jade Barclay: Improving women’s health: managing hypermobility-related multimorbidity
Project Participants
Status: Ongoing
Opportunity
This project will lay the research foundations for the development of a future digital health solution – an evidence-based hypermobility navigation toolkit for patients and clinicians – which, in turn, will improve patient outcomes and their experiences in navigating the healthcare system.
Project Objective
- Establish international consensus of management priorities for hypermobility-related conditions.
- Identify variance of priorities between clinicians and patients, or other subgroups.
— end of PhD options for knowledge translation and research impact projects building on this knowledge — - Understand how unrecognised/unmanaged hypermobility contributes to the global burden of multimorbidity and chronic pain.
- Close evidence gaps by triangulating heterogenous sources – RCT’s, service utilisation claims, Delphi consensus, social media discourse.
- Embed multimorbidity-informed evidence in clinical guidelines, education, and screening, co-designed with health consumers.
- Elevate the profile of inclusive representation in research and clinical guidelines to Close the Multimorbidity Gap.
