Profile

I am a PhD student at ScHARR, supervised by Professor Chris Burton (Professor of Primary Care and Centre for Urgent and Emergency Care (CURE) Research, ScHARR, University of 91Ö±²¥) and Dr Kerryn Husk (The NIHR Applied Research Collaboration South West Peninsula (PenARC), University of Plymouth). My research objective is to use an established dataset with linked routine paediatric patient data from NHS organisations across Yorkshire & Humber to study how care is provided for urgent and emergency paediatric episodes and identify, where potential causes of concern are in the system and therefore where interventional approaches should be targeted. 

Qualifications

BSc Actuarial Science & Mathematics, University of Manchester

MSc Statistics, University of Nottingham

Research interests

My research interests include the application of novel statistical techniques and methodologies to datasets in healthcare settings.

The working title of my PhD is ‘The management of acute paediatric episodes of care within the urgent and emergency care system’.
