Profile

I am a clinical lecturer in primary care research and a general practitioner. In addition to my research activities within the AUPMC, I work as a GP partner at Wincobank Medical Centre in Sheffield.

After gaining a BSc in psychology from Sheffield University in 1998, I worked as a research assistant at the Addiction Research Unit within my current department where I completed my PhD evaluating pharmacological risk factors for heroin and methadone overdose. I am interested in data science and completed an MSc in Applied Social Statistics at Lancaster University in 2004.  I studied medicine in Sheffield, graduating in 2011, and went on to complete my GP training in 2016. 

I am a member of the AUPMC primary care informatics group.
