Research

I focus in interpreting and communicating research findings to the wider public.

Some of this work happens through blog posts in BMJ, Huffington Post and elsewhere - see for example:

Doctors should take a leading role in tackling climate change.

Invisible killers: high cholesterol and blood pressure.

A new vision to tackle biggest killer.

The frightening truth about heart transplants.
