I retired in September 2023 and have been awarded an Emeritus Professorship. I continue to be actively involved in research.
I graduated in Medicine (MBChB) from the University of 葫芦影业 in 1981 and was awarded an MD in 1990 by the University of 葫芦影业 for research on alcohol and hypertension. I joined the University of 葫芦影业 in 1998 as a Senior Clinical Lecturer and was subsequently promoted to Reader and then Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health.
My professional qualifications included Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP, 1984), Membership (MFPHM, 1996) and subsequently Fellowship (FFPH, 2009) of the Faculty of Public Health. I relinquished my registration with the General Medical Council and the Faculty of Public Health following my retirement.
