Thomas Fanshawe
MPhil MA PhD
Senior Medical Statistician
- Departmental Lecturer
My current research is based on the development and application of statistical methods to studies in primary care. Areas of current interest include diagnosis, prognostic modelling and meta-analysis methodology.
I have previously worked on studies in a diverse range of application areas, including oncology, radiology, gastrointestinal disease, psychiatry, smoking cessation, mental health and environmental epidemiology.
Methodological research topics that have featured in my current or previous research include models for inter-rater reliability and diagnostic accuracy; joint and hierarchical modelling; spatial and spatio-temporal modelling.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and a Member of the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Gastrointestinal Infections.
