I was awarded a National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) fellowship in October 2014 and am undertaking a PhD using electronic health records to investigate the epidemiology, management and outcomes of community acquired urinary tract infection in the elderly.

I teach on the 'acute conditions' module of the Clinical Epidemiology intercalated BSc, act as an Academic Mentor to medical students, and support supervision of General Practice Specialty Academic Trainees.

I work as a GP in Aberdare in the South Wales Valleys.
