Éle Quinn is a PhD candidate with Evidence Synthesis Ireland. Her project will focus on ‘The People’s Review’ under the supervision of Dr Sinéad Hynes and Dr David Moher. Éle completed her undergraduate studies in BSc. Occupational Therapy and her research project focused on the clinical utility of an Irish language version of a commonly used assessment for people with memory impairment. Éle has a keen interest in evidence synthesis and completed a summer studentship with Evidence Synthesis Ireland in 2019 focusing on a scoping review for occupational therapy interventions for people with multiple sclerosis. This review has been published in the Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy. Since graduating from her undergraduate Éle has worked clinically as an occupational therapist in primary care and intellectual disability services and continues to maintain her registration as an occupational therapist in Ireland. Éle is passionate about capturing the patient and public voice and making research accessible to everyone. She is looking forward to working on ‘The People’s Review’ as it combines two of her main interests – evidence synthesis and patient and public involvement.
