I was involved in MRC trials of neutron therapy for bladder and prostate cancer, in the 1980s at the Cyclotron Unit, Western General Hospital in Edinburgh. Past member MRC advanced bladder cancer subgroup. I was the trial co-ordinator for UK Metastron trial,1990-1994 (using strontium-89 versus hemibody or local external beam radiotherapy for metastatic prostate cancer). Stimulated by my interest in sports medicine, and initially as my dissertation for my MSc in sports medicine, I set up and co-ordinated a randomised controlled trial of aerobic exercise for men receiving radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer, which has been published in Cancer. Subsequently I set up the Tayside Fatigue Initiative which advises aerobic walking exercise or home exercises for management or prevention of fatigue associated with cancer treatments, with an information booklet produced for patient use as a result of the study, an audit of which has been published.
I was responsible for setting up a Virtual Prostate cancer clinic for the follow up of men with localised prostate cancer, treated by surgery or radiotherapy, run with the help of a Macmillan Cancer grant funded specialist nurse; the clinic was audited and had high levels of patient satisfaction. For my Masters Dissertation in Applied Sport & Exercise Psychology, I carried out and subsequently published research on a personal disclosure, mutual sharing intervention with a professional football team. Now a research postgraduate in psychology at Stirling University, I am investigating the relationship of metacognitive judgments of memory such as vividness, distinctiveness and confidence with memory accuracy.
