When training and working as a doctor in London, I became increasingly interested in how and why people ended up in hospital - what could have been done differently, and the deeper, upstream factors shaping their health. In other words, the causes of the causes, such as education, work, family, and community - and how these intersect to drive unfair and avoidable differences in health. It also became clear that health systems often fell short - both in meeting the needs of those facing the greatest barriers and in using resources efficiently. This led me to specialise in public health, focusing on improving population health through strategic thinking, partnership working, and addressing inequalities at their root.
Keen to explore how innovation and service redesign can improve people’s health, I became an NHS AI Fellow. I’m interested in AI’s impact on the cost-effectiveness and equity of health systems - as well as its broader societal effects on communities, sustainability, and the structural drivers of health.
Outside of work, I enjoy exercising and exploring city culture and history.
