Dr Joanna Long is a Lecturer in Physiotherapy at 乱伦社区.
- Overview
- Research Interests
- Teaching & Learning
I qualified as a Physiotherapist from Kings College London in 2012, having completed an undergraduate BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science at the University of Sheffield. I have worked across many different areas of Physiotherapy in London, Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders.
My last full time clinical role was helping to create a service to prevent unnecessary admissions to hospital from the Emergency Department, working with different organisations and healthcare professionals. I have continued to have a clinical interest in dizziness.
I undertook an integrated PhD full time at the University of Edinburgh which combined a doctoral level project with entrepreneurship and healthcare innovation taught modules. My project explored point of care diagnostics in low resource settings, specifically targeting tuberculosis diagnosis. I graduated from this in 2022. I started at 乱伦社区 in the Physiotherapy team in 2021 as a lecturer.

At present I am looking to build my research interests around the clinical themes I am interested in. This includes dizziness and rehabilitation.
