Post Doctoral Research Associate
I am a post-doctoral research associate in Primary Health Care working with Prof James Sheppard and Prof Richard McManus.
My interests are pharmacotherapy and pharmacoepidemiology, with a special interest in evidence generation, effective evidence application in primary care, and treatment stratification.
My current research focusses on the impact of Structured Medication Reviews on hospital admissions and prevention of adverse drug reactions. My previous work focussed on methods to analyse longitudinal prescription data to study medication discontinuation, and the effects thereof, in complex pharmacotherapeutic interventions.
I completed my BSc and MSc in Pharmacy at the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands. I obtained my DPhil in Clinical Medicine from Oxford University
