She holds an NHMRC-ARC Dementia Research Development Fellowship and has experience in research on functional outcomes for persons with dementia in communities and residential aged care. Theresa's NHMRC-ARC Dementia Research Development Fellowship focuses on the complex issues around dementia and driving. The aim of this research program is to translate a comprehensive support- and education-based driving cessation intervention for people with dementia and their carers, into clinical practice. The results of this research will enhance understanding of the issues for health professionals who monitor driving cessation in primary care settings; and inform the most effective strategies for primary care delivery of the intervention in metropolitan and regional areas.
