In 2013 she was awarded the Dr John Perry Prize for an outstanding contribution to NHS IT for her work developing the widely used www.openpseudonymiser.org too.
Julia's research interests are very broad and include large scale clinical epidemiology, drug safety and the development of risk prediction algorithms using electronic databases from general practices. She is the co-founder of the QResearch database (www.qresearch.org) which is one of the largest clinical research databases worldwide. In 2020, it has doubled in size to to cover over 2500 GP practices, representing approximately 40% of the UK population. The database is also linked to hospital, mortality & cancer data, COVID test results and ICNARC ICU data. She has developed and validated risk prediction algorithms for a range of diseases including cardiovascular disease, cancer fracture, diabetes and other conditions. These tools are now widely used across the NHS.
