I currently teach medical statistics and epidemiology at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and supervise undergraduate BMedSci students and taught postgraduate Master in Public Health students. I am currently supervising two PhD students who are exploring: patterns and perceptions of alcohol consumption in the transition to, and start of, university; and polycystic ovarian syndrome and reproductive health in Oman.

I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Current Research

The majority of my work utilises my expertise in managing and analysing quantitative data, ranging from relatively small local survey datasets to extremely large datasets of routinely-collected primary and secondary care medical data. With colleagues I have developed the use of time series analysis methods for evaluating the effectiveness of public health policies using these data sources. Current projects include:

• evaluation the effectiveness of a microfinance intervention on child health in rural India
• evaluation the effectiveness of restricted visiting arrangements in neonatal units on the incidence of respiratory infection
• use of routinely-recorded primary and secondary care data to study medium- and longer-term health outcomes in children born prematurely
