GP and Clinical Senior Lectuer in Primary Care
I am a GP and Clinical Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Primary Care and Health Services Research. My roles include:
Other roles include:
I am a senior academic GP with expertise in implementation research focused on patient safety across systems of care for people with complex health and care needs. I am particularly interested in developing, implementing and evaluating strategies to improve care and outcomes for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or who have sustained acute kidney injury (AKI), whilst navigating the challenge of avoiding 'too much medicine.'
Since my last promotion in 2015, my clinical academic expertise to address key NHS priorities is evidenced by leadership roles across key NIHR infrastructure including: Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research (CLAHRC) Greater Manchester; GM Patient Safety Research Collaboration (PSRC); Manchester School for Primary Care Research (SPCR); and the Manchester Integrated Academic Training (IAT) programme.
For over a decade I have led a range of multidisciplinary kidney health research studies. With patient voice and expertise central, I am currently Chief Investigator for the NIHR Health Services Delivery Research funded AsterAKI study to enhance recovery after AKI.
AKI is a common, harmful, and costly clinical syndrome. In England it affects nearly half a million people a year, with 1 in 7 people admitted to hospital unexpectedly having sustained AKI. It is more common in older people living with multiple health conditions. AKI is an important marker of vulnerability and is associated with high mortality rates, high rates of unplanned readmission (1 in 5 within 30 days) and poor long-term cardiovascular outcomes (1 in 5 sustain AKI again, 1 in 6 develop CKD, and over the year following AKI, 1 in 4 suffer a major cardiovascular event). By 2040, CKD is predicted to be the fifth leading contributor to the volume of deaths worldwide.
My leadership of kidney health research has been aligned with national roles on the NHS England Think Kidneys Programme Board (2014-17), Royal College of General Practitioners’ AKI Clinical Champion (2017-20), and Lead for the NHSE Renal Services Transformation Programme Post-AKI care group (2021-23). These roles have led to national guidance on post-discharge care following AKI, which have informed NICE COVID-19 guidelines [NG191] as well as the NICE AKI Quality Standard (QS76). Building on this clinical-academic platform, I am currently a member of the international KDIGO AKI Guideline Work Group.
With a commitment to building research capacity, I co-lead the NIHR Manchester Integrated Academic Training Programme, with responsibilities for supporting 50 Academic Clinical Fellows and 30 Clinical Lecturers across 26 GMC Specialties. Building on my role as SPCR Training Lead, I am also Co-Lead for the NIHR Manchester School for Primary Care Research. These roles are aligned with my vision to develop a diverse clinical and academic workforce with the skills to address key health and care priorities across Greater Manchester, the North of England and beyond, leading to a healthier society for all.
