Tiffany Grisbrook (Bachelor of Science (Exercise and Health Science), Hons, PhD) holds a part time position as Research Manager for Kids Rehab WA, which is a collaborative academic position between the Child and Adolescent Health Service and The University of Western Australia. Tiffany has a broad research background in areas spanning from sports science to physical therapy and rehabilitation for patients with burn injuries, which have provided her with a wide range of knowledge and research skills.
Tiffany is passionate about being involved in clinically meaningful research, that makes a difference to the lives of children and their families. This directly aligns with the vision of the Kids Rehab WA research program, which is to be an international leader in Paediatric Rehabilitation research that translates into improved outcomes for children, adolescents, and their families. Her current role allows me to build relationships with clinicians, researchers, and consumers within Kids Rehab WA, and provide research support /mentorship to the team, to enable this vision to be achieved.
