Research Interests
Public outreach & key achievements
The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) “recognises, rewards and celebrates individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession.” It was a privilege to receive this award.
I co-developed a mobile phone app ‘OTC Consult’ to support evidence-based over-the-counter consultations. It is available to download free of charge from Apple and Google Play Stores
I participated in a podcast about active learning in pharmacy education with Dr Dan Corbett and Dr Maurice Hall from QUB, and Prof Paul White from Monash University. This podcast is listed on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music platforms.
Research students
Over the past ten years, I have supervised many MPharm and MSc research projects. I have acted as Chair and External Examiner for PhD vivas, and peer reviewer for PhD ethical applications.
I have been an invited peer reviewer for over 30 internationally recognised journals.
Alumni: Where are they now
Many MPharm and MSc students that I have supervised in a research context are working in various clinical settings such as hospital and community practice. I am delighted that a recent student I supervised for MPharm research project has been inspired to return to QUB to undertake a PhD in pharmacy.
