Research interests

Jessie has recently been awarded the Research Design Service (Yorkshire and the Humber) Public Involvement Funding Award to support the completion of public and patient involvement work with people with lived experience of Parkinson’s disease.

This initial stage of participatory work will provide a foundation on which she will develop her research, ensuring it meets the needs of these groups.

Her developing research interests include the improvement of oral health and dental management of neurodegenerative conditions including Parkinson’s disease. Jessie also has an interest in rarer conditions including Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP).

Exploring experiences of mouth care in people with Parkinson's

Jessie is currently conducting a qualitative study exploring the experiences of mouth care for people living with Parkinson’s. This study is looking to hear from people living with Parkinson's, or care partners (such as a family member, spouse or partner) involved in the care of someone with Parkinson's.

The purpose of the research is to understand the experiences of people living with Parkinson's in keeping their mouth and teeth healthy. The research is looking to find out what people with Parkinson's do regularly to keep their mouth and teeth healthy (eg toothbrushing, keeping dentures clean) and what they think about mouth and dental health.
