My primary research interest is in the field of movement disorders, incorporating parkinsonian syndromes, inherited ataxic syndromes and dystonia. I have had a particular interest in genotyping and clinical phenotyping. This has included an MD thesis on the role of endophenotypes in the pursuit of a genetic cause of familial dystonia, the ongoing genotyping of the ataxia population in Ireland and description of the role and cost effectiveness of next generation sequencing in the diagnostic process. I await ethics approval for participation as local PI in a multicentre genotyping study of Parkinson's disease in Ireland sponsored by Genomic Medicine Ireland for which I have been involved in protocol development for the national project. Along with my colleague Dr. Sinead Murphy, I am a co-supervisors of an MD thesis candidate in Trinity College Dr. Petya Bogdanova with whom we are looking at ocular phenotypes in hereditary ataxia. We have also been successful in 2019 in establishing Dublin as a new European Friedreich's Ataxia Consortium for Translational Studies study site. This phenotyping natural history study will provide useful clinic data for future therapeutic trials. I have published on pharmacological and surgical therapies for movement disorders. This has included studies looking at therapeutics in dystonia using botulinum toxin and deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus in cervical dystonia. I have in addition participated as an investigator in therapeutic studies of pump therapy in advanced Parkinson's disease (local PI in the Observe Study and sub-investigator in the pivotal north American open phase III trial of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel). I have been active as the only Irish neurologist providing a clinical service for deep brain stimulation programming and this has facilitated collaboration with neural engineering, for which ethics approval is awaited, to allow the study of surface muscle biomarkers of deep brain stimulation.

• Title

  A shared-care model for deep brain stimulation in Irish patients with Parkinson's disease: a pilot cross- channel collaboration to improve access, efficiency and the patient experience
  Summary

  After Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease (PD) is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting approximately 1% to 2% of individuals over 60 years in our aging population. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an advanced surgical treatment option in patients for whom medication can no longer provide an adequate quality of life. Electrodes are implanted within the brain and then programmed over an intensive schedule of outpatient visits. Irish patients must travel to English centres for assessment, surgery and post-operative care as no Irish neuroscience unit has been able to provide the multidisciplinary team and expertise required for pre-operative assessment or the programming of implanted electrodes afterwards. We proposed an observational study of a unique collaborative, shared-care model between the Tallaght Movement Disorders Clinic and neurosurgical collaborators in the Institute of Neurology at the University of London. We will provide the required pre-operative radiological, neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric assessment of surgical candidates and weekly consultant-led post-operative programming of electrical stimulation, reducing patient and carer travel to a minimum. We assessed 40 candidates over two years and established stimulation in 10. All surgery was carried out in London as per the standard clinical practice. Outcome measures will included 1) improvement in motor symptoms compared with baseline and international norms, 2) patient rated change on a quality of life scale and 3) an economic analysis to cost this novel approach with the current standard of care. Patients referred but who are considered ineligible for surgery after screening will be managed with alternative advanced therapies within the multidisciplinary clinic.
