Research
My area of research is Clinical Pharmacy Practice with a focus on the individualisation of pharmacotherapy in order to optimise patient clinical outcomes.
My research focus is drug dosing in relation to body composition in children and in obese individuals. The clinical application of my research has been in the areas of anticoagulation and in insulin dosing in diabetes.
My research interests also include clinical education and professional competency.
