Personal profile
Overview
I am a GP (primary care physician) and health informatician. I lead research to develop and evaluate digital interventions that use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to solve important problems in health care.
My research focuses on the application of AI and ML to support health professionals and patients make better decisions, in addition to automating tasks to reduce their workload. Examples include:
- An award-winning Online Consultation system that analyses patient-reported symptoms as unstructured free-text to automate triage and workflow
- Clinical decision support systems that analyse free-text data from electronic health records
- Actionable clinical performance feedback software
Internationally, I am a founding member of the Audit and Feedback Meta-Laboratory and the Primary Care Antibiotic Audit and Feedback Network – both are global networks of leaders in data-driven quality improvement research.
In addition to those listed below, you can find my publications on Google Scholar.
Biography
I qualified as a GP in 2014 and completed a PhD in Health Informatics in 2017 as a Wellcome Trust Research Training Fellow. In 2018 I was an National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Academic Clinical Lecturer, and from 2019 to 2023 I held a Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Career Development Fellowship. Prior to my PhD, I trained to be a GP as an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow. Between 2009 and 2010 I undertook a Fellowship in health services management at the North West Strategic Health Authority where I provided clinical input to regional Urgent Care policy.
I have been awarded the RCGP/SAPC Award for Outstanding Early Career Researcher, the British Computer Society’s Primary Health Care Specialist Group’s inaugural Early Career Informatician Award, the Royal College of General Practitioners' (RCGP) Specialty Trainee Award, an RCGP Great Expectations Award, and a National Leadership Council Emerging Leader Award. I have served on RCGP Council as Chair of the national Associates in Training Committee, and the Executive Committee of the Society for Academic Primary Care.
