I am a former NHS nurse who then studied epidemiology at Imperial College, London and has since worked in several research posts. I have worked on systematic reviews of complementary and alternative therapies in mental health, links between anti—psychotic drug use and hip fracture, use of routine NHS data to predict outcomes and inequalities in access to health care.

My current role is as a Research Fellow, Public & Policy, Trauma Sciences which continues an interest in injury research and injury data collection and in the use of such data to inform and evaluate injury prevention strategies in the community.

Research interests:

My  research interests include injury surveillance and epidemiology and the use of routine data to assess and analyse health policy changes with respect to health inequalities and inequities. My role within the Public and Policy Research Core aligns closely with Dianna Smith's research at the Centre for Primary Care and Public Health.
