Research
Following completion of my MPharm degree and pre-registration training year working across the industrial, hopsital and community pharmacy sectors, I undertook a PhD in drug delivery. My early research interests included formulation science, drug delivery and the development of ex vivo skin tissue and cell models. This training in pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy practice continues to underpin and inform my teaching across the MPharm.
More recently, my research has taken on a more clinical and health economics focus. Recent research projects have been completed in collaboration with:
- All Wales Toxicology and Therapeutics Centre
- Cardiff and Vale University Health Board
- Health Education and Improvement Wales
- Hywel Dda University Health Board
- National Poisons Information Service
- Tillotts Pharma UK
I am also currently undertaking pedagogical research in the area of clinical simulation, with particular focus on the use of Monash University's MyDispense platform for which I am the head of the national MyDispense UK Community and a member of the international steering group for the biennial Global MyDispense Symposium.
