GAIL CARIN-LEVY
SENIOR LECTURER, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY AND ART THERAPY
I’m an Occupational Therapy Lecturer currently in the
closing stretches of a part time PhD. I am interested
in researching various aspects of life after stroke,
currently my main focus is on the process of identifying
a delirium in the acute stages of stroke.
My past work has examined the value of engaging
in purposeful activities, which is another area which
I am passionate about - particularly the field of
physical activities as contributors to the quality of
life of various groups of people.
I’m fortunate to have been able to work with
Professor Gillian Mead, a UK expert on life after
stroke. She has inspired me to pursue my areas of
research and to widen my research portfolio, so that
I have gained invaluable experience utilising a wide
variety of research methodologies.
