Biography
I am a current Speciality Trainee in Trauma & Orthopaedics on the North of Scotland rotation, as well as a SCREDS Clinical Lecturer with the University of Aberdeen.
I have a long standing interest in research, having previously graduated from the Academic Foundation Programme and also the Aberdeen Clinical Academic Training programme during my medical training. I also undertook an intercalated degree at Loughborough University whilst a medical student where I achieved first class honours.
My primary research interests include the use of Artificial Intelligence and other data driven techniques to improve outcomes for orthopaedic patients, particularly focusing on lower limb arthroplasty and trauma.
I have recently completed a CSO Clinical Academic Fellowship which ran from August 2021-2024. This focused on developing potential improvements in clinical care pathways regarding those referred for hip and knee replacement surgery, utilising data-linkage and Artificial Intelligence techniques.
I am the current British Orthopaedic Association Elective Orthopaedics Associate Sub-Speciality Lead and Data Quality Lead for the Bone and Joint Infection Registry.
I am always happy to be contacted for potential project ideas or collaboration.
