Helen Quirk PhD., CPsychol
Ï㽶ÊÓƵer in Exercise Psychology
Summary
My interests are in the promotion of physical activity, exercise, health and wellbeing in clinical and non-clinical populations.
About
My background is in psychology (BSc University of Sheffield, 2010) and sport and exercise psychology (MSc Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, 2012).
I joined Sheffield Hallam in September 2016 from the University of Nottingham, where I studied for a PhD exploring the promotion of physical activity in children with type 1 diabetes. I am a chartered member of the British Psychological Society and a member of the parkrun Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Board.
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ
Within the broad area of physical activity for health, I work on a range of research projects from clinical studies, systematic reviews, programme evaluations and national survey studies. Previous and ongoing projects at SHU include:
- parkrun - national health and wellbeing survey
- parkrun - evaluation of the parkrun PROVE project
- parkrun - evaluation of the parkrun Visual Impairment scheme
- Sport England - various commissioned evaluations
- Public Health England - evaluation of the Moving Health Professionals Pilot
- Sheffield Children's Charity - clinical feasibility study of physical activity monitoring in paediatric type 1 diabetes
- Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS FT - a review of community-based physical activity initiation for people living with serious mental illness
- Urostomy Association - a literature review and Delphi survey to explore the experiences of patients who have undergone urostomy procedures
- Health Education England - qualitative study to explore workplace health and wellbeing services in the NHS
