I joined ScHARR in 2004, and since 2007 I have worked in HEDS undertaking systematic reviews of clinical effectiveness of healthcare interventions. From 2004 to 2006 I worked on a number of projects relating to patient safety and quality of care. I gained my BSc and PhD in genetics and cell biology from the University of Sheffield.

- Teaching interests
-
My teaching interests include systematic reviews and critical appraisal, meta-analysis, health research methods, and processes for health technology assessment. I teach on several ScHARR masters courses and short courses.
I am a module co-ordinator on the Methods and Processes module on the MSc in International Health Technology Assessment.
I am interested in supervising research students in areas such as systematic review methodology and reviews of complex interventions, complementary therapies and preventative interventions.
- Professional activities and memberships
-
I am a member of the ScHARR Technology Assessment Group (ScHARR-TAG). I undertake high quality evidence syntheses for the National Institute for Health and care Excellence (NICE), the NIHR Health Technology Assessment Programme, and other funding organisations.
