Career

After graduation from Charing Cross Hospital Medical School (MB BS: 1982), I completed my training in General Practice before undertaking a Masters in Public Health (MPH Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, USA; 1989). On return to the UK, I completed my training in Public Health Medicine (1995), following which I worked as a Clinical Senior Lecturer at University of Liverpool, completing my MD there in 2005. I moved to University of East Anglia in 2010.
