Jennifer Crow is a clinical specialist occupational therapist with more than 25 years of clinical experience working mainly in hyperacute and acute stroke settings. She has also worked in neuro rehabilitation settings in the UK and South Africa. She was the chair of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists Specialist Section Neurological Practice Stroke Forum. Her master’s research project focused on identifying the unmet needs of people at 6 months after a stroke and she was involved in the reconfiguration of stroke services in London.

Jennifer is currently completing a PhD through Imperial College London and Imperial College healthcare NHS Trust exploring how best to improve follow-up care provided to people after minor stroke. This research is focusing on improving information provision, secondary prevention and managing the hidden impairments experienced after stroke. She is also a co-applicant on a research grant that is looking at the treatment of spatial neglect after stroke. Other research interests include health equity and working with people who have had strokes to ensure that the development and design of research studies and service improvements are underpinned by those that have lived experience of stroke.
