Education
BM BCh MA (Oxford), MSc (Edinburgh)
I graduated from medical school at the University of Oxford (Worcester College) in 2016. After choosing a career in General Practice, I joined the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences as an Academic Clinical Fellow in 2020. In my clinical role, I am a GP trainee based in Didcot, Oxfordshire. I also have an interest in education, having completed a Master’s degree in Clinical Education at the University of Edinburgh in 2021. I am currently a tutor in clinical medicine at Worcester College, and intend to pursue a career role in the training of future GPs.
I have a strong interest in digital health innovations, and their integration into clinical care pathways. I work within the digital health and long-term conditions research team, supervised by Professor Andrew Farmer. I am currently involved in ongoing research evaluating the role of remote vital sign monitoring in ‘virtual ward’ or ‘hospital-at-home’ settings.
