Inaugural professorial lecture: Found in translation

Using a multidisciplinary, patient-centric approach work over two decades has led to the many advances made by Professor Patricia Grocott during her academic career at Kings College London (KCL). In her inaugural lecture as Professor of Nursing Technology and Innovation, Grocott recalls her work and inspirations, from her prosthetics for a large nodule wound to her current projects, which involve codesigning medical devices and technologies with patients vulnerable to skin breakdown. Her collaboration with an openness to other disciplines has enabled her work to cross boundaries and improve patients' quality of life and outcomes.
