Matthew Checketts

Dr. Matthew Checketts is a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow's School of Psychology and Neuroscience. His research focuses on two primary areas: widening participation in higher education, including access, student experience, and graduate outcomes; and post-stroke spatial neglect, covering its definition, assessment, and treatment. He is actively involved in clinical rehabilitation studies, particularly exploring interventions like prism adaptation and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for stroke patients. His work bridges neurology, rehabilitation science, and healthcare equity, with contributions to international clinical guidelines and consensus-building efforts.

Recent research highlights include a 2024 Delphi method study establishing consensus on spatial neglect terminology, a 2023 feasibility trial on prism adaptation training, and 2021 publications on tDCS applications and clinical assessment practices. These studies emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, methodological rigor, and practical clinical outcomes. Dr. Checketts' work has been published in journals such as Archives of Rehabilitation Research and Clinical Translation and Clinical Rehabilitation.

He maintains active engagement in stroke rehabilitation research, contributing to both experimental interventions and large-scale clinical surveys. His current office hours are Thursdays 12:30–13:30 at Room 405, School of Psychology and Neuroscience, with online availability upon request.
