Profile

I joined Design, Trials and Statistics section of ScHARR in 2013 as an NIHR Research Methods Fellow. This fellowship focussed on the use of adaptive study designs in emergency medicine clinical trials. This research formed part of my dissertation for an MSc in Statistics with Medical Applications at the University of Sheffield. Prior to this I graduated from the University of Sheffield with a MMath (Hons) in 2013.

In 2016 I was awarded an NIHR Doctoral Research Fellowship exploring the use of health economics in the design, monitoring and analysis of adaptive clinical trials. More information about this fellowship can be found here.

In January 2019 I moved to HEDS as a Research Associate in Health Economics and Statistics. I am also a Statistics Adviser for the Research Design Service, Yorkshire and Humber.

I am currently involved in the following projects:

  • EcoNomics of Adaptive Clinical Trials (ENACT)
  • MAGIC - Melatonin for Anxiety prior to General anaesthesia In Children
  • STOP-OHSS: A feasibility study and randomised controlled trial, with internal pilot, to assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness of earlier active management of OHS
Research interests
  • Methods for undertaking health economic evaluations alongside clinical trials.
  • Value of information analysis.
  • The use of health economics in the design, monitoring and analysis of adaptive clinical trials.
