Helen was recently awarded the Australian Physiotherapy Association Tasmanian Branch Certificate of Achievement in recognition of a significant contribution to physiotherapy and Chronic Disease Self-Management.

Dr Helen Cameron-Tucker completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy and Honors degrees at the University of Queensland. She was awarded her doctorate, investigating the role of supervised exercise with the Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, from the University of Tasmania where she continues her research interests. This includes the development of the ‘CENTREd’ Model of Health Self-Management Support: Steps, Skills and Tools and facilitation of exercise for people with chronic conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The ‘CENTREd’ Model training is currently being evaluated with respect to clinical practice and patient outcomes.
