Dr Dayna Pool and Dr Ashleigh Thornton receiving the Transformative Practice Award in 2024
ResearchWorks was started by Dr Dayna Pool and Dr Ashleigh Thornton in February 2021, as a way for researchers to present their findings and for clinicians to have access to the latest research and evidence.
5 seasons later, with 100’s of thousands of downloads and listeners - with collaborations between AusACPDM (The Australasian Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine), EACD (The European Academy of Childhood-onset Disability) and in 2026, AACPDM (American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine), the ResearchWorks team has turned their attention to establishing a digital platform for researchers and clinicians across the globe.
From education and courses, to podcasts, videocasts and multimedia, to state of the art tools leveraging AI and machine learning - the ResearchWorks Academy is designed to fill the gap for clinicians and researchers.
Supported by not-for-profit charity The Healthy Strides Foundation in Perth Western Australia, the ResearchWorks Academy aims to be able to provide a one-stop shop for networking and upskilling for clinicians and researchers in the field of neurodisability.
Far from a profit generating endeavour, our costs are limited to the service we provide, being able to manage upkeep and maintenance on our servers and offer profit sharing on content generation. A constantly updated and maintained, specially curated collection of data, tools and services for the modern therapist and researcher.
