University Research Lecturer, Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford

I am based within the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford. In this role I author systematic reviews of interventions to help people to quit smoking, and help others to write their systematic reviews. I have been conducting research into tobacco and smoking for over ten years and received my doctorate in 2012. I am passionate about maximising the quality and reach of research evidence, and providing people with the best evidence to make informed decisions about their healthcare.

My work is supported by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and Cancer Research UK (CRUK). The views expressed are mine and not necessarily those of the NHS, the NIHR, the Department of Health and Social Care, or any other institution I receive funding from.
