Kate Walker PhD

Lecturer of Medical Statistics

I completed my PhD in 2006 at UCL and worked for a year at Queen Mary University as a research fellow in the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine.  I joined LSHTM in 2007 in the Faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health, and started my current role, attached to the Royal College of Surgeons, in February 2011.

I am a course organiser for the Advanced Course in Epidemiological Analysis (ACEA).  I teach on Statistical Methods in Epidemiology (SME), Advanced Statistical Methods in Epidemiology (ASME) and Statistics for Epidemiology and Population Health (STEPH).

Research

I am based at the Royal College of Surgeons where my current projects include the development and validation of indices using patient-reported outcomes before and after surgery, and carrying out a national audit of bowel cancer. This work requires the use of linked data from large clinical and administrative databases.
