SOLVE-CHD Researcher Spotlight April

Joseph Weddell

PhD Candidate

Joseph Weddell is a registered nurse with a comprehensive background in intensive care and cardiothoracic surgery. Joe holds 8 years critical care experience, working as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in intensive care. His flagship study aims to use a large cohort study design composed of participant from across multiple NSW cardiac rehabilitation programs. It will explore the prevalence and features of cognitive impairment in ACS, provide validation of a 5-minute screening tool for use in detecting cognitive impairment in this population, and will also include a qualitative component to explore their perceptions of “brain fog” and their potential educational needs in secondary prevention provision.
