I am an NIHR academic clinical lecturer and specialty registrar in cardiology. I am interested in population epidemiology, healthcare quality and reducing inequalities.  In particular, I have recently been looking at improving outcomes for older people with frailty and cardiovascular disease.

My MD was in cardiovascular epidemiology (University of Leeds). I was also a clinical lecturer and specialty doctor in cardiology at York Hospital and Hull-York Medical School. I have completed a research fellowship at Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, where I was in receipt of an Ionescu Visiting Fellowship. I lead the healthcare quality module on the MPH programme at Newcastle, and am a member of Q.

Qualifications

MD, MPH, MBBS, MRCP, FHEA

Post-graduate certificate in clinical education

European Examination in General Cardiology

Other roles

I am a visiting research fellow in the Department for Health Sciences at York University, and at the Leeds Institute for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine, and am an honorary clinical lecturer at Hull-York Medical School.

I provide peer review for journals including Circulation, Age and Ageing, EHJ Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes, Quality of Life Research, and Nature Scientific Reports.
