About Victoria
I am an academic geriatrician working at both the University of Plymouth and University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust. My research expertise is in cerebral haemodynamics, specifically cerebral autoregulation, vasomotor reactivity, and neurovascular coupling, in healthy ageing and neurodegenerative diseases. I have broader research interests and expertise in Parkinson’s disease, blood pressure, frailty, and vascular disease.
I am the lead for the NIHR Clinical Academic Training Programme in Plymouth.
My current grants include awards from the NIHR HTA programme and Parkinson’s UK. I was a previous regional lead for the NIHR Ageing National Specialty group, and have extensive experience as a PI. I sit on several data monitoring and trial steering committees.
Clinically at UHP, I co-lead the Parkinson's service and have a specialist Parkinson's outpatient clinic. I also work on the frailty SDEC unit, and on geriatric medicine wards within the acute hospital.
