Overview

As Professor of Medical Education, I am committed to high quality health professions education and research and am motivated to impact positively on healthcare processes and outcomes.  I lead the Health Professions Education & Wellbeing research group at Exeter, which provides a forum through which to develop high quality and impactful research, drawing on the expertise and enthusiasm of university staff, clinical academics, students and patient representatives. Alongside my work at the University of Exeter, I am President of the Association for the Study of Medical Education, Deputy Editor for the journal Medical Education, and Member of the NIHR Health and Social Care Delivery Research (HSDR) Funding Committee.  My work has been recognised through various awards, such as ASME President's Medal winner 2022, Honorary Fellow of the Academy of Medical Educators, Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and National Teaching Fellow.
