Biography

Dr Ashford has incorporated clinical practice with research and implementation science to develop research outputs which are clinically relevant and applied to people following acquired brain injury and other long-term conditions. He delivers the regional specialised outreach service for North West London and surrounding counties, including the management of spasticity and complex physical management (encompassing management for those with a Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness). He has developed with local, national, and international colleagues a programme of research, which builds strongly on his clinical expertise in management of spasticity and the physical aspects of neurological rehabilitation.

Dr Ashford aims to further develop projects in neuro-rehabilitation and palliative care for rehabilitation planning, Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement (PROMs), spasticity and disability management, contracture management and secondary analysis of the UK Rehabilitation Outcomes (UKROC) national data set for specialised rehabilitation.
