What is your role in the Law School?

I am Programme Director of the LLM and Professor of Health Law and Policy.

What are your main research interests and how do these feed into the postgraduate curriculum?

The regulation of health care and health systems (especially the allocation of scarce resources) by law; law’s role in securing the conditions for (and sometimes impeding) the health of the population; and health and human rights.

We address all of these topics, amongst many others, on our LLM in Health, Law, and Society.

If you could describe the learning community in the Law School in three words, what would they be?

Diverse. Enthusiastic. Motivated.

What is your favourite part of working/living in Bristol?

Both the city and university are very vibrant culturally. They are large enough to have lots going on; but not so large that you ever feel isolated or overwhelmed.

If you had one piece of advice for students applying for a postgraduate law course today, what would it be?

Research your choice of subjects carefully before (and after) you apply; we offer a wide range of choices of both pathways and units on our LLM programmes and you are likely to end up with a much better grade if your choice reflects the areas in which you are most interested.
