My current role
I do out-patient clinics for people with diabetes who require input from a hospital-based team which can include a diabetes specialist nurse, a dietician, and a podiatrist. The clinics include a ‘general diabetes’ clinic, a clinic for people who require the care of a renal physician in conjunction with Dr. Nick Pritchard, and a clinic for people with cystic-fibrosis related diabetes.
Previous history
Originally from Santa Monica, California, I trained in economics, medicine, and epidemiology in the US, and pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacovigilance in the UK.
