External Collaboration. Researcher and Data Analysis. Influence of Socio-economic Factors on Attitudes towards Surgery. For this project, I provided support for data inspection, correlation, and the analysis of results. This research seeks a better understanding of socio-economic factors that influence people’s attitudes and understanding of surgery, in particular, plastic surgery. The project is undertaken with my colleague Dr Vesa Malesevic and Dr Jack Kelly, Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon at Galway Clinic and Galway University Hospital.
