My current research interests include long-term outcomes in patients with inflammatory arthritis, for example disability, surgery and mortality. I am interested in longitudinal analysis techniques, latent class analysis and structural equation modelling. Due to my background in psychology, I am also interested in the long-term psychological consequences of having a rheumatic condition.

I am Deputy Social Responsibility Lead in the Division of Musculoskeletal and Dermatological Sciences and the co-lead of the Epidemiology module of the MSc in Clinical Rheumatology.
