Welcoming the new appointees, Head of Department Professor Richard Hobbs said:

"These strategic world-class appointments come at a key juncture for the department. The appointments of Julia and Simon are part of our ambitious plans to create the UK’s foremost academic centre for digital primary care. In addition to these chairs in digital health, I am delighted we have managed to attract two internationally renowned methodologists, in social sciences and in health economics. I think it is a sign of the growing maturity of our academic enterprise that we are seen as a natural home for Catherine and Stavros."
