Profile

I am a Senior Research Fellow in systematic reviewing and evidence synthesis. I have worked at the University of 91Ö±²¥ since 2004. I undertake systematic reviews and Health Technology Assessments on behalf of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the NIHR, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and other organisations.

I undertake reviews on a range of topics including new medicines, diagnostic and prognostic tests, screening programmes, and complex interventions. 

I also lead systematic reviews as part of our Knowledge Exchange partnerships with industry, government bodies and charities.

Research interests
  • Systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical effectiveness of healthcare interventions
  • Systematic reviews of diagnostic and prognostic tests
  • Systematic reviews of screening programmes
  • Systematic reviews of complex interventions and public health interventions
  • Methods for systematic reviewing, including rapid review methods and diagnostic review methods
  • Complementary and alternative medicine research


Recent projects


I have recently worked on systematic reviews of the following:

  • Newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy
  • Gene expression profiling tests in breast cancer
  • PET and MRI imaging of axillary metastases in breast cancer
  • Faecal immunochemical tests (FIT) for colorectal cancer symptoms in primary care
  • Antibiotic use and time lag to rise of resistant pathogens in hospitals
  • Association between stress and cancer (rapid review of reviews)
  • Prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine use
  • Therapeutic effects of yoga for health and wellbeing

Teaching interests

My teaching interests include: systematic review methods, critical appraisal, meta-analysis, rapid reviews, health research methods, and health technology assessment. I teach on several Masters courses and short courses.

I am interested in supervising research students in areas such as systematic review methodology and reviews of medicines, diagnostic tests, screening programmes, complex interventions, complementary therapies and preventative interventions.

Professional activities and memberships

I am a member of the SCHARR Technology Assessment Group (SCHARR-TAG). I undertake high quality evidence syntheses for the National Institute for Health and care Excellence (NICE), the NIHR Health Technology Assessment Programme, and other funding organisations.
