My research focuses on two areas: a well-established research theme on the process and outcomes of prescribing in secondary care (both by medical and nonmedical prescribers), and a growing research theme into public engagement/involvement in the use of health data for research. Current research interests include:

 

  • Behavioural change to reduce prescribing errors
  • System redesign to reduce prescribing errors
  • Integration and impact of non-medical prescribers
  • Decision-making by non-medical prescribers
  • Outcomes associated with non-medical prescribing
  • Public views on the use of anonymised health data
  • Public views on the commercial use of anonymised health data

Biography

After registering as a pharmacist in Northern Ireland in 1983, I worked for 2½ years in a mission hospital in Zambia, Central Africa, before returning to Belfast in 1986 to begin an MSc in Hospital Pharmacy. I worked as a clinical pharmacist in Hope Hospital, Salford, until the lure of research drew me to do my PhD in the School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Manchester, in 1994. I continued to work there as a post-doctoral researcher after securing a 3-year post-doctoral fellowship and took up an appointment clinical lecturer in 1999 and was promoted to clinical senior lecturer in 2006 and reader in 2011.  I was invited to be Visiting Professor in the Department of Pharmacy, University of Uppsala, Sweden from 2003 to 2008.
