Overview
I am a Principal Research Fellow at the Centre for Trials Research in Cardiff University.
My background is in Medical Statistics. I have extensive expertise in the design, conduct, analysis, and reporting of randomised trials and other well-designed studies. My research to date is focussed on the areas of women/maternal and child health, people experiencing homelessness, and also surrounding the use of antibiotics in primary care. I have experience in the development and evaluation of complex interventions. I completed my PhD in 2013 on "Examining the inter-relationships between antibiotic prescribing, complications and resistance in acute respiratory tract infections".

Research
At the national level, I lead the first randomised controlled trial conducted with homeless people in the UK, examining the effect of the housing of rough sleepers on COVID-19. I am also leading a “big data” study linking Social Care Wales data to Health datasets within the SAIL Databank to examine the health impacts of COVID-19 on domiciliary care workers. I am the statistical lead for two COVID-19 rapid response study examining the impact of the UK governments pandemic response to COVID-19 on cancer related attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours. These studies on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are important in understanding the impact of the virus and governments pandemic response. They will help inform the national response to recovering from the pandemic and planning for additional waves of infection and new pandemics.
Using routine data, I lead an evaluation examining the health impacts of nurse visits to teenage mothers (Family Nurse Partnership Programme in Scotland), and am co-investigator on several routine data based studies to examine the impact of UTIs on cardiac events and on prophylactic antibiotic use for recurrent urinary tract infection.
Teaching
I have previously supervised both undergraduate and post-graduate students in the School of Medicine, and Mathematics.
