I am internationally leading in methods and applications in the fields of clinical prediction modelling and notably, its intersection with causal inference. I have extensive experience in teaching and learning, and am Programme Director of the MSc Health Data Science.
My approach is to start with genuine clinical problems where additional decision support (through prediction models) is warranted, particularly cases where standard methods don’t suffice. Because of this problem-first approach my work is implemented in healthcare systems. My focuses are:
These three broad areas are motivated by improving the pathway to implementation for prediction models in healthcare. Clinical application areas include primary prevention of long term conditions (especially CVD), and treatment in cancer. I work mostly with routinely collected electronic health record data.
I have wide ranging experience of course leadership and curriculum development in the undergraduate, postgraduate, and CPD contexts, having developed and delivered courses across all three. I have taught in two universities, both to ‘specialist’ students (e.g. mathematicians and MSc students) and to ‘service’ students (e.g. skills courses for the NHS). I use a range of innovative teaching approaches, including blended learning.
I am Programme Director for the MSc Health Data Science.
