Following a degree in Natural Sciences (Experimental Psychology) at the University of Cambridge, Sally Wheelwright remained in Cambridge to research reading development for a year followed by 15 years of autism research. In 2010, she moved to the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton to develop quality of life questionnaires and complete a PhD, focussing on cancer cachexia (uncontrolled, unintentional weight loss and muscle wasting). In 2017, Sally joined the Macmillan Survivorship Research Group in Health Sciences, University of Southampton to work on prospective longitudinal cohort studies exploring the recovery of health and wellbeing in adults diagnosed with cancer.
Sally joined SHORE-C in October 2021. Her research interests centre round supporting self-management of nutritional care in people with cancer and long term conditions, along with quality of life assessment, health literacy and developing digital interventions.
I-Prehab will develop a toolkit to support cancer workers to raise awareness of and encourage participation in prehabilitation, particularly with people from socially deprived and ethnically minoritised communities.
This project will develop an internationally applicable curriculum for quality of life (QoL) in cancer clinical trials and clinical practice.
