Professor Laura Ternent is a faculty member at Newcastle University, specializing in clinical trials, health economics, and public health policy. Her research spans respiratory medicine, neurological rehabilitation, and global health interventions. She has led or contributed to numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing on conditions like bronchiectasis, stroke recovery, and nasal airway obstruction. Her work emphasizes patient-centered outcomes, including quality of life assessments and cost-effectiveness analyses.
Key research areas include:
- Clinical trials evaluating treatments for respiratory diseases (e.g., bronchodilators in bronchiectasis).
- Health policy studies on population-level dietary and travel interventions.
- Robot-assisted therapy for post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation (RATULS trial).
- Discrete choice experiments assessing patient and clinician preferences in dental care, vaccination programs, and stroke treatment decisions.
Her articles reflect a focus on translating research into clinical practice, with recent studies addressing global health challenges in Africa and maternal HIV care in low-resource settings. Collaborations with multidisciplinary teams and funding from the National Institute for Health and Care Research highlight her impact on healthcare innovation.
