I am Professor of Trials and the Director of the UKCRC Registered Centre for Trials Research at Cardiff University. I am a Senior Research Leader and mentor for Health and Care Research Wales.
I have a degree and PhD in Statistics and have worked in medical statistics since 1996. I spent the first part of my career focused on research in primary care and then in 2006 established the South East Wales Trials Unit and started to develop a broader research portfolio. My specific methodological research interests are in trial design, outcome measurement and research inclusion with a particular focus on complex trials, whilst the topic areas I mainly focus on are primary care, infections and learning disabilities.
I collaborate widely across the UK and Europe on research studies from a broad range of funders including NIHR, NISCHR, EU and industry. I have over 220 peer reviewed research publications and currently hold £34M of research grants as a co-applicant. I am a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and the Higher Education Academy and a member of the Society for Academic Primary Care and the Society for Clinical Trials.
I am keen to develop career pathways for researchers and am a mentor on the Society for Academic Primary Care PHoCuS (Primary Healthcare Scientists) mentoring scheme. I also mentor undergraduate medical students.
