Dr Simon Briscoe

Simon is a systematic review methodologist with a long track record of undertaking commissioned systematic reviews to inform evidence-based decision making across health and social care. He started his current role with the Exeter PRP Evidence Review Facility in April 2020. This involves delivering systematic reviews and other types of evidence synthesis commissioned through the NIHR Policy Research Programme to inform UK health and social care policy.

Simon came to systematic reviews in 2011 through an information specialist post with Warwick Evidence at the University of Warwick. Since joining the University of Exeter in 2012 he has worked across multiple NIHR programme grants and been a co-applicant on several NIHR funded systematic reviews, both as a systematic reviewer and information specialist. He has a long-standing research interest in evidence synthesis methods and, more broadly, an interest in access to health and social care for underserved population groups, particularly in relation to wider social determinants of health.
