Allied Health Service Delivery needs for people with Parkinson’s disease in Australia
We are seeking a PhD candidate eligible for a UQ Graduate School Scholarship, Australia to undertake a PhD in allied health service delivery for people with Parkinson’s disease. The successful PhD candidate will explore the current allied health service availability for people with Parkinson’s disease, identify unmet needs and explore solutions to meet these needs.
There is growing evidence that a multidisciplinary approach to management is the most beneficial for people with Parkinson’s disease. There is however a perceived difficulty accessing allied health therapists who are skilled and interested in the management of Parkinson’s disease. There are several potential barriers to ease of access to specialised allied health services for people with PD. This project aims to map existing services and identify areas of need and to research potential methods of addressing these needs.
The PhD student will be supervised by a team that may will include Dr Robyn Lamont and Prof Sandra Brauer. The PhD students will work in the labs of the UQ staff.
Eligible candidates will be supported to apply for a UQ Graduate School Scholarship that provides a 3-year scholarship (with possible extension for 6 months if required) at a rate of $28,597 p.a. tax free.
Essential criteria: An undergraduate degree with first or second class division 1 Honours in an allied health discipline; eligibility for admission to the PhD program at The University of Queensland; excellent communication skills (written and verbal) in English.
Desirable criteria: Experience in rehabilitation of people with Parkinson’s disease.
