I am a hospital pharmacist by background, with expertise in pharmacy practice research and methodologies in evidence-based medicine, drug utilisation research, pharmacoepidemiology, and health economics. I have a progressing and balanced professional and academic profile and an insightful scope of international teaching and pharmacy study in higher education institutes.
My current research focuses on the quality of patient-centred healthcare and explores issues of medicine use and outcomes from the perspectives of patients, payers and healthcare providers. I often used mixed methods (including qualitative and quantitative methodologies) to explore policy, drug utilisation, and patient safety-related issues in various disease areas. In particular, I have many experiences in using secondary databases, such as the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database and the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink.
Currently, my research emerges in two themes around optimising the use of opioids for chronic non-cancer pain management and the adherence, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of long-term breast cancer therapeutics. I am also involved in several projects in developing and evaluating pharmacy services.
I taught in both undergraduate (MPharm) and postgraduate (MScClinPharm) programmes in evidence-based medicine, critical appraisal, randomised control trials design and statistics, epidemiology study design and health economic evaluation. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
