- Profile
-
I graduated from the University of 91Ö±²¥ in 1996 with a BSc in Physiology and went on to graduate with an MSc in Science, Culture and Communication at the University of Bath in 2002. I worked in the charitable sector as a systematic reviewer at Penny Brohn Cancer Care for two years before joining ScHARR in 2009.
My primary interest is in Health Technology Assessment, and I have been a member of ScHARR’s Technology Assessment Group (ScHARR-TAG), which conducts assessments for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), since 2009. I have worked on and led systematic reviews and technology appraisals on a wide range of topics as part of this programme of work, and have special interest and expertise in diagnostic and prognostic topics.
I also plan and conduct reviews as part of ScHARR’s Knowledge Exchange partnerships, with industry, public health and charitable funders.

I am a module co-ordinator for HAR6501, Systematic Reviews and Critical Appraisal Techniques on ScHARR’s Masters in Public Health. I also teach on ScHARR’s short courses and bespoke training courses, including our Systematic Review short course, our Rapid Review short course and our short course on Reviewing for Modelling Parameters.
