Profile

I am a health service researcher and clinician. I combine my clinical work as a paedaitric oncologist with a research programme focusing on child health outcomes research and the identification of the consequences of living with and beyond cancer.

Over the last 20 years I have been instrumental in moving the needs of individuals living with and beyond cancer from the marginal to the mainstream of the health service and political agendas.
