About

Dr Sarah Prior is a Senior Lecturer within the Diabetes Research Group in Swansea University Medical School. She gained her PhD in 2006 specialising in mitochondrial genetics of cancer, however since then has worked in the field of diabetes research. Dr Prior joined the Diabetes Research Group in 2007, where her research has focused on investigating the links between Type 2 diabetes and obesity, and their associated comorbidities. The Diabetes Group now has its own unit based in the Grove Building and their research sits within the “Biomarkers and Genes” theme. Dr Prior focusses on Type 2 diabetes associated-obesity and the identification of molecular biomarkers for the association with specific cardiovascular comorbidities, as well as having a keen interest in bariatric surgery and weight loss.

Aside from Type 2 diabetes research, Dr Prior also collaborates in the field of retinopathy and the mechanisms behind its progression.

Areas Of Expertise

Diabetes
Obesity
Bariatric surgery
Incretin hormones
Oxidative stress
Gene expression analysis
Biomarkers

Career Highlights

Teaching Interests

Dr Prior teaches at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including the Genetics, Medical Genetics and Biochemistry BSc degree schemes and several modules on the Graduate Entry Medical Degree. However, she is most noted for being co-programme director for the MSc Diabetes Practice postgraduate course.

Research

Dr Prior’s main area of research is Type 2 diabetes and its co-morbidities, covering topics such as obesity, cardiovascular risk factors and ways to reduce diabetes progression. Dr Prior has a particular interest in bariatric surgery and the associated gut hormones that can affect glycaemic homeostasis. Future studies will focus on levels of gut hormones within obesity and prediabetes populations in collaboration with other academic institutions and the NHS.

Award Highlights

Taught Modules

PM-304 Biomolecular Research Project

*
PMDM01 Diabetes Basics

This core module aims to introduce the basics of diabetes, a condition where there are an estimated 4.5 million people living with the disease in the UK alone, and a further 1.1 million that are undiagnosed. It will detail prevalence and pathophysiology, nutrition and self-care, and a basic understanding of associated complications. It aims to develop the students¿ knowledge of the many key factors that contribute to this enormous healthcare issue. The module will be delivered online via distance learning, with online assessments.
PMDM02 Diabetes Management I

This core module is delivered primarily as a 5-day residential that aims to develop the students¿ knowledge of the available pharmaceutical treatments for diabetes. It will explore all aspects of current pharmaceutical regimes from oral medications through injectables to basic pump technologies. This will enable the students to not only have the opportunity to see and handle these pharmaceuticals, but also appreciate the wider context of medication planning and progression of the disease. The module will be delivered primarily on campus (5-day residential) with extra online content, and both in situ and online assessments.
PMDM03 Diabetes Events

This core module will aim to explore and give a basic underpinning knowledge of events that can result from or affect diabetes care. This will include hypo- and hyperglycemia, illness and pregnancy, demonstrating causes of disruption and the courses of action required to ensure continuous diabetes management throughout. The module will be delivered online via distance learning, with online assessments.
PMDM04 Diabetes Complications

This optional module will detail and further enhance the students¿ knowledge of the micro- and macrovascular complications that can arise as a result of diabetes, including retinopathy, kidney damage, cardiovascular disease and stroke. It will highlight the associated risk, symptoms, progression and possible treatments with regard to these conditions. The module will be delivered online via distance learning, with online assessments.
PMDM05 Diabetes Management II

This core module is delivered primarily as a 5-day residential that aims to enhance the students¿ knowledge of the advanced treatments for diabetes. It will explore continuous/flash glucose monitoring and all aspects of pump technologies and pregnancy usage. This will enable the students to see and handle these new technologies that are not necessarily common place in clinics, and appreciate the concept of treatment planning and progression using these devices. The module will be delivered primarily on campus (5-day residential) with extra online content, and both in situ and online assessments.
PMDM06 Diabetes Situations

This optional module will investigate the situations in which there are a need for specialised diabetes planning, treatment and care. It will highlight the areas of care that require specific and considered practice such as inpatient care, elderly/infirm patients and care in the community. The module will be delivered online via distance learning, with online assessments.
PMDM07 Dissertation (Research/Audit)

This module will comprise of a written dissertation of either a research project or audit. The piece will need to demonstrate independent learning and critical thinking to explore and add to the evidence base for a topic of relevance to their area of interest within the field of diabetes.
PMDM08 Work Based Portfolio

This module will allow students to review, appraise and evaluate the application of the knowledge gained throughout the programme within their own professional work environment by providing a portfolio of evidence that is supported by a reflective commentary.
