I am a translational statistician providing a bridge between innovative epidemiological study designs and advanced statistical methodology, that can be applied to practically usable clinical studies that have impact and lead to improved health outcomes. My purpose is: (i) Applied health research that can improve patient care and change the way patients are treated and managed; (ii) Innovative methodology and epidemiological study designs; (iii) Provide opportunities for training and personal development to the benefit of both the individual and wider research group.

I am a principal investigator and a co-applicant on a number of research grants with £21.8 million grant income (£2 million as a PI), >250 publications (that include 5 BMJ and 8 Lancet papers) and an h-index of 59. My current research is focused on health service delivery – exploring variation in the way hospitals treat and manage patients, and in understanding which is the best model of care to improve patient outcomes and save money to the NHS. I develop innovative study designs for the evaluation of complex interventions that include Natural Experimental studies and Process Evaluations. Projects adopt a mixed methods approach using qualitative research methods, health economics and statistical analysis, in order to capture deep understanding and lessons for the service on implementation and change.
