Jo is an NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer at the University of Manchester, working across Cardiovascular Sciences and Health Data Sciences. She was awarded a British Heart Foundation Clinical Research Fellowship in 2019, successfully completing her PhD in 2023. Jo’s main research interest is remote monitoring using implanted cardiac devices (such as pacemakers), specifically how we can use this information to predict when older people are at increased risk of heart failure and hospitalisation.

Jo is passionate about clinical research and has been involved in a number of studies recruiting across Greater Manchester. Jo is also a hospital clinician specialising in Geriatric Medicine at Manchester Royal Infirmary. Her long-term goal is to develop a world-class multidisciplinary Cardio-Geriatrics service for older people with heart failure in Manchester.
