Profile

For enquiries please contact - ClinMed-Operational@sheffield.ac.uk

I trained in Endocrinology in 91ֱ��, and completed my PhD on Determinants of Peak Bone Mass and Bone Size in 2008, funded by an Arthritis Research UK clinical fellowship. I was appointed as a Senior Clinical Lecturer in 2014.

My clinical interests are in young adult bone disease and endocrinology. I am director of Student Affairs for the 91ֱ�� MBChB.

Research interests

My research interests are in bone microarchitecture in skeletal maturation and ageing, the interactions of fat and bone, and treatment of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. I am currently leading clinical studies of vitamin D physiology and a clinical trial of selenium for osteoporosis, and I am a co-investigator in the TOPaZ trial in osteogenesis inperfecta.

Current projects

Physiology of high dose vitamin D dosing
The effects of gender and age on bone microarchitecture
The effects of obesity on bone and muscle
Bone loss in prostate cancer treatment
Selenium treatment for osteoporosis
TOPaZ trial in osteogenesis imperfecta

Teaching interests

I teach in the 91ֱ�� undergraduate curriculum, giving lectures and seminars on calcium physiology and metabolic bone disease, and masterclasses in teenage and young adult medicine. I run the AUBM training programme.

I lead the CIMA MRes in musculoskeletal ageing, and teach regularly on the ECTS PhD training course and Mellanby courses on bone biochemical markers and vertebral fracture.

I completed the RCP/UCL Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Education in 2012 and have since joined the RCP teaching team, as a tutor on the Doctors as Educators programme.
I am Training Programme Director for Endocrinology and Diabetes in South Yorkshire.
