Research interests
Research Fellow in Infectious Disease Epidemiology. My research is focused on the relationship between antibiotic use in primary care and it's impact on antibiotic resistance.
I am currently working on a BMA Foundation Kathleen Harper (Antimicrobials) award, exploring the relationship between antibiotic prescribing and resistance in Escherichia coli confirmed urinary tract infections at a national level. I am working with colleagues at the UK Health Security Agency to conduct this research.
My main research interests are around antimicrobial resistance in common community-acquired infections, including transmission of resistant bacteral infections.
