Michelle Lansdowne
University of Stirling, Chair and Trustee of ISEEBiography
Michelle Lansdowne is Chair and Trustee of ISEE, a Scottish charity dedicated to raising awareness of visual stress. She holds an MBA in Sustainability, Innovation & Change Management from the University of Stirling, where her research explored the lived experiences of over 500 people with visual stress and compared the effectiveness of different interventions. With more than 25 years’ experience in global marketing leadership across SaaS, AI, fintech, and consumer sectors, Michelle brings strong strategic, communications, and advocacy skills. She is passionate about equipping professionals with the knowledge to identify, understand, and support individuals affected by this under-recognised condition. My research interests focus on the intersection of health, education and social policy, with particular emphasis on improving outcomes for individuals affected by neurodevelopmental and perceptual conditions. I am especially interested in exploring the lived experiences of individuals with Irlen Syndrome, examining how diagnosis, awareness, access to support, and treatment pathways influence educational attainment, wellbeing and quality of life.
My work adopts mixed-methods approaches to investigate barriers to effective care and support, including issues related to misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, professional awareness, and healthcare accessibility. I am also interested in disability advocacy, people-centred care, stakeholder engagement and the role of evidence-based change management in influencing policy and service provision.
A further area of interest is the relationship between education and health systems, particularly how early identification, targeted interventions, and inclusive practices can reduce barriers to learning and improve outcomes for children and young people. Through my research, I aim to contribute to greater awareness, informed policy development and the empowerment of individuals whose voices are often underrepresented in healthcare and educational decision-making
