Profile
I am a Clinical Research Fellow and a GP working in inner-city Leeds.
Following the academic foundation programme I completed General Practice training in 2016 and have worked at the University of Leeds as a Clinical Fellow since May 2017. My current role is funded by Cancer Research UK's CanTest programme. Through my doctoral research I am investigating the role of imaging in the diagnosis of lung cancer. Prior to my PhD study, I completed an MSc in Health Research at the University of Leeds.
I was a member of the School of Medicine Ethics Committee for two years (2019-2021) and I served as an academic and personal tutor in the University of Leeds Medical School for three years (2016-2019). Prior to this I was a Visiting Lecturer for two years (2014-2016). In August 2019 I was appointed to the National Institute of Health Research’s Health Services & Delivery Research prioritisation committee. I have also served on a NICE guideline committee and I worked with the General Medical Council for three years (2016-2019) contributing to a committee that oversees the PLAB exam including reviewing and setting examination stations. Prior to this I had served as a specialist expert for the Care Quality Commission inspecting acute hospital trusts and I was also a Guardian of Safe Working Hours at Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust.
