Dr Iseult Wilson

School of Nursing and Midwifery

My area of interest is developing and evaluating interventions to support people with chronic illness, and there are two main strands.

  1. Chronic musculoskeletal conditions: a) musculoskeletal consequences of surgery for cancer, and their management; and b) playing-related musculoskeletal disorders in musicians.
  2. Qualitative research methodology: specifically, interviews and focus groups, and in how research is taught to undergraduate and post-graduate students

Current projects:

  • Walking for Health (WORtH) funded by Cross-border Healthcare Intervention Trials in Ireland Network (CHITIN)
  • Inhaled Compliance Assessment (INCA)
  • SafeTrad (Irish traditional musicians)
