Professor of Primary Care Research: 1. Improving the targeting of antibiotic prescribing The development of clinical prediction rules offers the promise of improved antibiotic targeting in primary care. Completed work demonstrates my experience in deriving and validating a clinical rule to predict minor complications of acute cough in pre-school children presenting to primary care and I am a Co-PI for the recently completed MRC funded DESCARTE study. I am the CI on a multi-centre NIHR Programme Grant application (TARGET) in which Workstream 3 will derive and validate clinical rules to predict major complications (hospitalisation) and investigate the prognostic implications of dual bacterial and viral infection in children presenting to primary care with a range of respiratory infections. I am also Co-CI on a HTA funded grant (DUTY) to improve the recognition and treatment of urinary tract infection in young children presenting to primary care. 2.
