Current appointment
Honorary Professor of Public Health, School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR), University of Sheffield
Academic and research leadership
I lead the new UKPRP-funded SIPHER Consortium (2019-2024, £5m with additional £1.7m funding from 18 partner organisations).
SIPHER is a new centre for Systems Science in Public Health & Health Economic Research. Working closely with policy and practice partners, our research will aim to create the evidence base to underpin health in all policies efforts by local, regional and national governments. Our initial focus areas will be inclusive economic growth, adverse childhood experiences, mental wellbeing and housing.
