Current Research
Colin Crooks has completed his PhD in the epidemiology of upper gastrointestinal bleeding studying its causes and outcomes using case control studies and surivival analyses. This work was carried out in linked the routine databases; (CPRD) Clinical Practice Research Datalink, (ONS) Office for National Statistics, and (HES) Hospital Episode Statistics. After returning to full time clinical training as a gastroenterologist he has recently returned to the University as an Academic Clinical Assistant Professor.
