Personal profile

Overview

I am a Professor of Vascular Neurology and an Honorary Consultant Neurologist at the Manchester Centre for Clinical Neurosciences, Salford Care Organisation, Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust.

Biography

I trained in Medicine at the University of Manchester and was awarded an MRC Clinical Research Training Fellowship (2003-06) to undertake his PhD. Alongside my clinical training in Neurology and Stroke Medicine, I continued to develop my research interests as an NIHR Clinical Lecturer (2009-14). I have been a Consultant Neurologist since 2014 and held an NIHR Clinician Scientist Award from 2015-20. I subsequently held a Stroke Association Margaret Giffen Reader Award (2020-25), before taking up my current post in 2024.

Research interests

My research is focused on improving outcomes after intracerebral haemorrhage, a devastating form of stroke with poor outcomes and few treatments.

My NIHR award launched a translational clinical research programme aimed at understanding the therapeutic potential of modulating the inflammatory response to intracerebral haemorrhage.

I also lead a programme of work combining implementation science, machine learning and health informatics to improve prognostication and the delivery of standard care after intracerebral haemorrhage.

Finally, recognising the importance of ultra-early treatment in intracerebral haemorrhage, I am investigating pre-hopsital recognition of intracerebral haemorrhage, with the aim of subsequently delivering effective treamtent in the ambulance.
