Published papers by Dr. Sula​

 

Dr Sula published six papers from her PhD in leading peer-reviewed journals and have co-authored others in the area of psychological approaches to IBS and IBD. Some of these papers have been published in top journals including the BMJ, Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology and the British Journal of Health Psychology. 

​

It has long been Dr. Sula's ambition to apply this knowledge to the area of women's health. In particular urogynaecological, pelvic and bladder conditions that women commonly experience with little support in the healthcare system. This has led to collaborations with Vanderbilt University research lab investigating psychological approaches to support Bladder Pain Syndrome and Overactive Bladder Syndrome and Teesside University exploring the experiences of women with Chronic Urinary Tract Infections.
