UQCCR
Miss Welsh is undertaking her PhD in UQCCR’s Dementia & Neuro Mental Health (DNMH) Research Unit under the supervision of Associate Professor Nadeeka Dissanayaka.
“My PhD is focused on the implementation of technology-assisted psychotherapy interventions and this includes a process evaluation of a DNMH project called Tech-CBT. This project is aimed at reducing anxiety symptoms for people living with dementia and mild cognitive impairment and the development of implementation guidelines for future interventions. My focus is to reduce the ‘implementation gap’, reducing the time it takes for the public to access and use new research and new technologies in the real world. I am hoping that my PhD will inform myself and others on how to implement interventions, particularly technology-assisted interventions, in more efficient and effective ways”.
