Sophie Davis, a Year 2 MSc Physiotherapy (pre-registration) student, recently showcased her academic and research talents by presenting at the Hartpury Research and Knowledge Exchange Conference 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her undergraduate dissertation explored the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence among Hartpury University and Gloucester-Hartpury female rugby players, highlighting an important and often under-discussed issue affecting women\u2019s sport and young female athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presenting at the conference provided Sophie with the opportunity to raise awareness of the topic while engaging in insightful discussions with academics, clinicians, and attendees from across the sector. The project also formed the foundation for her current research study, Knowledge, Beliefs, and Barriers: Women\u2019s Perceptions of Urinary Incontinence<\/em>, demonstrating her continued commitment to advancing understanding and awareness of women\u2019s health issues within physiotherapy and sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her work demonstrated not only strong research and presentation skills, but also a commitment to advancing conversations around women\u2019s health within sport and physiotherapy practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sophie\u2019s achievement reflects the high calibre, professionalism, and ambition of UoG Physiotherapy students, who continue to make valuable contributions to research, clinical practice, and wider healthcare discussions throughout their studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":112,"featured_media":129000008999,"template":"","tags":[],"cs_subjects":[838,850],"cs_levels_of_Study":[765],"schools":[],"class_list":["post-65005","case_study","type-case_study","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cs_subjects-health-social-care","cs_subjects-sport-exercise","cs_levels_of_Study-postgraduate"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_study\/65005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_study"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/case_study"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/112"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65005"},{"taxonomy":"cs_subjects","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cs_subjects?post=65005"},{"taxonomy":"cs_levels_of_Study","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cs_levels_of_Study?post=65005"},{"taxonomy":"schools","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schools?post=65005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
