I have published many research papers in a variety of international academic journals and have lectured at a range of regional, national and international conferences. I trained at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath, one of the premier hospitals for Rheumatology in the country. I undertook a wide range of research projects whilst working there (particularly in the area of Spondyloarthritis) and then went onto undertake postgraduate research at the University of Oxford. I was awarded an MD for my research on the genetic susceptibility for Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am currently the Peninsula Musculoskeletal Research lead for the NIHR.
