Jessica Redding
Medical Imaging
"Although I was learning a specific field of medical imaging, the course involved common classes for all disciplines, which allowed me to broaden my knowledge of each modality. The classes were also much smaller than what I was used to, so there was more interaction between students and staff. Throughout the course we undertook four blocks of clinical placements which helped reinforce the theory we were being taught in class. The clinical placements are great because they have the potential to lead to a Professional Development Year position at the end of the course."

Participation by Miao Older People in the new Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (RCMS) in Sichuan Province, P.R. China
My area of research is in rural healthcare services and rural health policy in P.R. China. My PhD study will explore the barriers to, and opportunities for, enhancing the participation of older Miao people in the local development and implementation of the new RCMS. A principal objective in the process will be to analyze how the needs of older Miao people are identified and addressed by the scheme. The study will contribute to the effective development and implementation of health policy and services designed to enhance the health outcomes of marginalized, ethnic minorities in rural China.

Doctor of Philosophy - biomechanical and physiological demands of front row forwards during the scrum
"My PhD is centred on rugby union scrummaging. More specifically the research is examining the biomechanical and physiological demands of front row forwards during the scrum. The reason behind only focusing on the front row guys is because they are the only ones during the scrum that are interlocked and can be influenced by the opposition. In addition, it is these guys who transmit the forces created by both their own team and the opposition. If these players understand their technique more and how it influences others, then it’s intended that the game will be a lot faster and more appealing to the rugby audience."
