Prof. Craven’s clinical and research expertise is in the prevention and treatment of secondary health conditions among individuals living with spinal cord injury and their related health service needs. Her recent work has focused on the associations between changes in body composition and multimorbidity among individuals with chronic spinal cord injury.

Prof Marshall has an interest in osteoporosis after SCI and how this issue is investigated and treated and therefore had a number of questions ranging from what interested Prof Craven about bone health and what are her current research projects. Join them as they discuss this topic and the different areas Prof Craven works on and how COVID-19 affected her work.
