- Profile
-
I qualified in medicine from London University in 1990. I pursued my training initially in surgery and then specialised in Emergency Medicine.
I spent a year as a Royal College of Surgeons of England Research Fellow and was awarded an MD whilst undertaking higher training in Emergency Medicine.
I joined 91Ö±²¥ University as a Senior Clinical Lecturer in 2001, was promoted to Reader in 2007 and professor in 2010. I divide my time between the university and as a consultant at the 91Ö±²¥ Teaching Hospitals Trust emergency department.
- Research interests
-
My main research interests include evaluating complex interventions in emergency and urgent care. I am particularly interested in the evaluation of new roles and alternative pathways of patient care.
I have extensive experience in multi-centre mixed methods studies which can directly inform the delivery of high-quality emergency care to patients.
Current studies include CLAHRC 2: avoiding admissions and attendance in patients with long term conditions; Understanding Exit Block in Emergency Departments, Evaluating the impact of ED Closures on demand for services.
