Research
Andrew's main research interests are in the area of health care quality improvement, service delivery and organisational research. He is involved in a programme of work examing the routine use of patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) for surgery and is based part-time in the Clinical Effectiveness Unit of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
He is also involved in two studies exploring governance in health services: one examing the governance of foundation trust hospitals in England; and the second investigating the governance and performance of community foundation trusts.
Andrew has further research interests in clinical epidemiology in rheumatology, particularly polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis. He is co-principal investigator of a multi-centre study led by the University of Oxford that will investigate the role of ultrasonography in the diagnosis and treatment of giant cell arteritis.
He recently completed an evaluation of the impact of the 'modernisation' of adult critical care services in England in collaboration with the Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre (ICNARC) and colleagues in HSRU.
