Dr Barwick's academic interests center on preventative foot care, encompassing foot screening techniques for peripheral arterial disease, preventative footwear, diabetes-related foot complications, and embedding research capabilities into health workforces; she employs quantitative and qualitative research methods. Her scholarly output includes key publications such as 'Footwear and insole design features that reduce neuropathic plantar ulcer risk in people with diabetes mellitus: a systematic review' (Ahmed et al., Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2020), 'Health practitioners' perceptions of falls and fall prevention in older people: a metasynthesis' (van Rhyn and Barwick, Qualitative Health Research, 2018), 'The effect of diabetic neuropathy on foot bones: a systematic review and meta-analysis' (Barwick et al., 2014), 'Peripheral sensory neuropathy is associated with altered postocclusive reactive hyperemia in the diabetic foot' (Barwick et al., 2016), and 'Building and examining research capability in Australian healthcare honours programmes' (Barwick and Horstmanshof, Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2024). These works have advanced knowledge in diabetic foot pathology, vascular assessment, and podiatric education, influencing clinical and academic practices in podiatry and allied health fields.
