I’m an NIHR Clinical Lecturer at the Centre for Primary Care and Health Services Research and a practicing GP. My research interests include:

• Continuity of care
• Health care co-ordination
• Patient access to health care
• The relationship between people, technology and health care systems
• Management of risk by clinicians
• Medical and research ethics
• Overdiagnosis and over-medicalisation

I finished my medical degree in 2005 at Newcastle University and I qualified as a GP in 2012. I initially worked as a GP in the Northeast of England before relocating to Western Australia. After returning to the UK in 2016 I became involved in research at the University of Manchester. I was an NIHR In-Practice Fellow from 2017-2019 before doing a PhD funded by THIS Institute which examined continuity of care in extended access primary care. I completed my PhD in 2023 and was appointed as a Clinical Lecturer. Alongside my research, I still work as a GP 2 days a week in the Peak District.
