Personal Statement
I am a Medical Statistician primarily interested in the development, validation and implementation of clinical prediction models for people with recurrent conditions such as epilepsy and asthma. I am based in the Department of Health Data Science at the University of Liverpool. I am also Programme Director, Assessment Lead & Academic Integrity Officer for the University's MSc in Health Data Science.

My work has informed the Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s regulations on time off driving for people with a first-ever seizure, and driving during and after anti-seizure medication withdrawal. This work has now also underpinned European Union policy on driving.

I am a Chartered Statistician and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I am also a committed STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) Ambassador. As part of these roles, I have developed statistical outreach activities which can be used by anyone with an interest in the area at a variety of events such as careers fairs, science festivals and STEM clubs. They can be found here.

I would be pleased to hear from potential PhD students interested in the development, validation & implementation of clinical prediction models. This can include any clinical area, and be methodological or applied in nature.

Research Overview
I specialise in the development, validation and implementation of clinical prediction models for chronic conditions such as epilepsy and asthma.
