I am an interdisciplinary researcher working in public health and policy evaluation. As joint PI of the Pharmacy First Evaluation (https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/centres-projects-groups/pharmacy-first…), PI of an MRC methodological grant on the commercial determinants of health, and Deputy Director of the Public Health Policy Research Unit (https://www.phpru.online/), I have a particular research interest in complex systems research and evaluation.  I conduct applied research, often with policy customers in government in the UK or EU, or with think tanks. I am Associate Convener of the Campbell and Cochrane Equity Methods Group, a founding member of the LSHTM Commercial Determinants Research Group, and I am Deputy Director of the AMR Centre at LSHTM.
