I maintain my honorary contract with the local Health Board and lead their kidney disease exercise rehabilitation program. I am Co-Chair of the Kidney Research UK Physical Activity and Wellbeing Clinical Study Group (www.kidneyresearchuk.org/research/exercise), I am the exercise and nutrition thematic lead for the Wales Kidney Research Unit (www.kidneyresearchunit.wales) and a founder member of the Welsh Institute for Physical Activity, Health and Sport (www.swansea.ac.uk/sports-science/astem/wipahs). I am currently involved in three multicentre studies: PEDAL (PrEscription of intra-Dialytic exercise to improve quAlity of Life: www.ukctg.nihr.ac.uk/trials/trial-details/trial-details?trialNumber=NCT02222402); BISTRO (BioImpedance Spectroscopy to maintain Renal Output: www.keele.ac.uk/bistro), and evaluation of the Kidney Beam platform (www.beamfeelgood.com/kidney%20disease).

Brief bio:

After graduating with a Sport Science degree and working as freelance Outdoor Activities Instructor for some years, I returned to academia to complete my PhD in clinical exercise physiology. I am now a Senior Lecturer in Exercise Physiology and work within the School of Human and Behavioural Sciences at Bangor University (www.bangor.ac.uk/sport).

I teach and complete research and impact activities in two distinct areas: i) clinical exercise physiology in chronic kidney disease; ii) and how to enhance health and performance in high altitude environments. 

• Profesiynol: Good Clinical Practice eLearning (Secondary Care)
  National Institute for Health Research, 2016
• Profesiynol: Fellow
  Higher Education Academy, 2011
• PhD: Clinical Exercise Physiology
  2006
• BSc: Sport Science
  2001

I teach Advanced Research Design (JXH4003/JXH4020/JXH4209) to our Masters and distance learning students and Academic Skills to our Undergraduate students (JXH1021). I also teach Research Expedition (JXH2030) to our Adventure Sport Science students.

I typically supervise undergraduate and masters project/dissertation students, intercalated students, Foundation Year 2 Medical Doctors, and three PhD students.

I research two distinct areas: i) clinical exercise physiology in chronic kidney disease; ii) enhancing health and performance in high altitude environments. 

Rwyf yn barod i oruchwylio myfyrwyr mewn unrhyw un o fy nau faes ymchwil  (ffisioleg ymarfer clinigol mewn clefyd cronig yr arennau neu ffisioleg uchder uchel).

When not working, I can be found desperately trying to encourage my six year old daughter to be as passionate about outdoor pursuits as I am. My main hobbies are climbing, mountaineering and mountain biking.
