Sarah Morrow
Dermatology Registrar and Pre-Doctoral Researcher
I am a senior dermatology registrar working at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. During my dermatology training, I have become fascinated by the role of diet and nutrition upon skin disease, particularly chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis.
I am working with the Health Behaviours team, particularly Dr. Jadine Scragg and Prof. Susan Jebb, to examine the impact of weight-management upon skin disease for people living with psoriasis. This year I have undertaken a systematic review and meta-analysis (being prepared for publication) to explore this in more detail.
In particular, I am interested in how to translate these research findings into realistic weight-management interventions for patients attending busy, real-world outpatient clinics. My planned PhD will address this through qualitative interview studies with patients and clinicians, co-development of an intervention and a feasibility study.
