Since 2000, Mal has worked on many stroke-related research roles. These have included two clinical trials delivering Motivational Interviewing (MI), as a delivering therapist and trainer/supervisor. Mal was part of a team that was trained to deliver MI by an external expert and has delivered talks on MI aspects and our research to national and international audiences. He was also part of a consultative team that worked with researchers from Emory University Georgia USA, to help their therapists deliver MI to patients recently diagnosed with AIDS. Mal reviews submissions for a number of stroke and rehabilitation journals.
