South Cloisters, University of Exeter, St Luke's Campus, Heavitree Road, Exeter, EX1 2LU, UK

Overview

I am a Postdoctoral Health Statistics Research Fellow at the University of Exeter Medical School. I work part-time on 

Support for Parent Carers in England (SPaCE) - An investigation of the prevalence of mental health problems in parent carers in England and pathways to support and treatment 

In the future I would be interested in developing my skills further to include working with routine data such as Hospital Episode Statistics, SAIL or CPRD in order to establish relationships between comorbidities and / or personal characteristics and an individual patient's response to treatment.
