Hello, I’m a Reader in Clinical Pharmacy and Drug Safety, and a registered pharmacist, with a specialised interest in adverse drug reactions, pharmacovigilance, patients’ views of risks and benefits of medicines, and medication errors.

I work at the University of Birmingham within the School of Pharmacy, which I helped to establish. I’m lead at the Medicines Safety Research Group at the University of Birmingham, and an honorary Pharmacovigilance Pharmacist at the Yellow Card Centre West Midlands. You can see my photography hobby here.

I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, a member of the British Pharmacological Society, and a Fellow of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (from 2013 to 2016 serving on the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s English National Board and Assembly).
