Helen’s research endeavours to actively include the target population of her research, where possible, through PPI and Codesign. She was Principal Investigator in collaboration with Speakability (a user-led group for people with aphasia), Edinburgh where she developed, ran and evaluated bespoke computer classes for people with aphasia with the aim of making people more independent in their daily lives through engaging with online fora. More recently she was Principal Investigator for a HRB KEDS funded study which developed a website designed by people with aphasia for people with aphasia. She currently runs online Aphasia Home Cafés fortnightly, facilitating adults with aphasia to meet together to practice their communication skills during the lockdown due to Covid-19. Helen is also leading the collaborative research project with UHK, 'Optimising the role of speech and language therapists in emergency departments in the integrated care of older people who are frail: development of a study protocol'.
Helen is an active member of the international Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists (CATs), specifically, Trials for Aphasia Panel, Cognition and Social Integration Working Group and is leading a subgroup focusing on technology and how to reduce the ‘digital divide’ often experienced by adults with communication difficulties, such as aphasia. As a substitute member for Ireland on the COST Action NET4Age-Friendly, Helen co-leads Working Group 1: User-centred inclusive design of age-friendly environments and communities. She is also a member of the National Standards Authority of Ireland and is currently involved on the national committee in relation to the ISO DIS 23623: Ageing societies —Framework for Dementia-inclusive communities.
More recently, Helen instigated and lead a newly formed Consortium from all five HEIs on the island of Ireland who run SLT programmes and successfully secured funding from the HEA North-South Research Programme which runs from 2022-2024.

Biography
Dr Helen Kelly is a state registered Speech and Language Therapist and lecturer in Speech and Hearing Sciences at University College Cork, Ireland. Helen worked clinically in NHS Scotland on Stroke and Medical wards as well as in the Community. Her research embraces her clinical experience focusing on adults with acquired swallowing difficulties and communication impairment following brain injury, such as post-Stroke aphasia. Following completion of her PhD she achieved a post-doctoral Clinical Research Fellowship where she led the Cochrane Review update - Speech and Language Therapy for Aphasia following Stroke.Helen’s research endeavours to actively include the target population of her research, where possible, through PPI and Codesign. She was Principal Investigator in collaboration with Speakability (a user-led group for people with aphasia), Edinburgh where she developed, ran and evaluated bespoke computer classes for people with aphasia with the aim of making people more independent in their daily lives through engaging with online fora.
