Biography
I joined the University of Exeter Medical School in September 2012. Since April 2020 I have primarily worked with the Exeter PRP Evidence Review Facility as an information specialist and systematic reviewer. My work involves carrying out systematic reviews and other types of evidence synthesis commissioned by the NIHR Policy Research Programme to inform health and social care policy in the UK. I support PenARC through providing search and review advice to researchers and NHS professionals in the PenARC geographical region via the Searching and Review Clinics.
