Hi crabby

I hope your ideas for your dissertation are progressing. I take it you can't work with patients because of ethics constraints?

There is always work that needs to be done on outcome measures. For example you could collect normative data on an outcome measure, using healthy public members. This still requires ethics but in most countries isn't as difficult to obtain.

Another possibility is to survey cardiopulmonary practitioners on an important part of practice.

Have you sought advice on topics from your faculty?
