- Profile
-
I am a Palliative Medicine physician working at St Luke’s Hospice in ºù«Ӱҵ, having 6 years of consultant experience. During specialist training, I completed a PhD in Health Sciences at Hull and York Medical School, which was awarded in 2012.
I moved to ºù«Ӱҵ in 2017 as a Senior Clinical Lecturer, to develop my own research interests and lead St Luke’s research strategy. I divide my work between St Luke’s Hospice and the University of ºù«Ӱҵ, with additional support to ºù«Ӱҵ Teaching Hospitals when needed.
- Research interests
-
My research interests include prognostication and clinical decision-making, particularly with respect to end of life care. In addition to developing my own ambitions, I have worked with St Luke’s on their existing research portfolio, including EnComPaSS and project ECHO.
I have collaborated with researchers nationally to support St Luke’s involvement with the £1.3m Yorkshire Cancer Research funded RESOLVE study, and the NIHR portfolio StOIC study, exploring management of opioid-induced constipation in cancer patients.
In collaboration with colleagues at ScHARR, I am undertaking research into Avoiding Emergency Admissions in Palliative Patients, funded by the ºù«Ӱҵ Health Care Challenges Collaboration.
