Biography
Jemma is a Research Fellow in the Academic Urology Unit at the University of Aberdeen. Currently, she is working on the PIONEER WP2 study to gain insight from patients with advanced prostate cancer as to which treatment outcomes matter most in order to inform the development of prostate cancer Core Outcome Sets. She is also assigned as the qualitative researcher to PARTNER, a study aimed at iteratively developing a new Prostate Cancer Decision Aid tool with collaboration from HCPs and Prostate Cancer patients.
She is trained in Clinical and Health Psychology as well as Language Pathology and has worked predominantly in education and healthcare.
