Research

My main research focus involves investigating ways to make clinical decision support more relevant and clinically informative, particularly the creation of adverse drug reaction propensity groups (rational data sets for ADR alerting). I have initially focused on drug allergy alerting systems but I am also looking at wider applications by integrating population data, comorbidities and drug groupings into clinical decision making.

After many years of involvement at a practice and advisory level, I still participate in research into age-appropriate medicines for children.

Additional details

I also work internationally as a pharmaceutical consultant, advising on medicines policy, rational drug use and evidence-based medicine.
