- Profile
-
I am an Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research (2022-present) and was Dean of ScHARR (2010-2017). I was also the inaugural Director of the NIHR School for Public Health Research (2012-2017). I was Director of the Medical Care Research Unit at the University of 91Ö±²¥ from 1993 - 2010. Before joining 91Ö±²¥ University in 1981 as a medical statistician I spent five years as a research associate at University College London working on road traffic accident prevention.
I am an NIHR Senior Investigator (Emeritus) and was Chair of the NIHR HTA Programme Commissioning Board from 2005 to 2010, and their Clinical Trials Board from 2007 to 2010. I also served as Deputy Chair of the Medical Research Council's Health Services and Public Health Research Board and their Clinical Trials Board. I chaired sub-panel 2 of REF 2014.

- Research interests
-
My research interests are in Health Services and Public Health research. My main field of research is the evaluation of emergency and urgent first contact care and services, particularly A and E services, including trauma services and chest pain care; ambulance services including helicopter ambulances; and urgent first contact care services including telephone and out-of-hours services. I also carry out methodological research related to the design of health service evaluations, and I have a particular interest in the use of routine (e-health) data for HSR.
