Staff Profile

I am a Research Assistant in horizon scanning and evidence synthesis. My role involves supporting NIHR Innovation Observatory (NIHRIO) in monitoring of new technology innovations, horizon scanning to identify, assess, and report on new and emerging health technologies, and synthesising evidence to answer research questions. All these are carried out to provide timely information for NIHRIO’s national stakeholders including NICE, DHSC and NHS England.

My background is in medicine and I have a master's degree in health Economics and Policy. I did my post graduate training in community medicine working as a senior registrar. During this time I supported medical and nursing students teaching in community medicine including Biostatistics.

About the NIHR Innovation Observatory

Home - NIHR Innovation Observatory

The NIHR Innovation Observatory is a world leading health and care innovation scanning centre providing data-driven insights to foster innovation and equitable access to high quality care. We aim to transform health systems and improve population health by providing advanced data-driven insights that foster innovation and equitable access to high quality care. At the core of our work is the development of data-driven methods to identify, capture and synthesise intelligence on new health innovations. We develop and share cutting edge methods in horizon scanning, building capacity in the systems across the public, voluntary and industry sectors.

We deliver essential intelligence and insights about medicines and MedTech innovation to the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE), NHS England, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the NIHR, the UK Health Security Agency, the Department for Health and Social Care and industry - allowing these organisations to prepare for policies, regulation and frontline delivery for new, emerging and disruptive technologies.
