I actively engage in supervision at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
I am currently supervising three DPhil students within the Department (Georgia Richards, Julian Treadwell and Georgette Eaton)
I am a supervisor on the MSc in Evidence-Based Healthcare program. I have overseen over 10 students completing their MSc thesis as well as advised students on the course at pre-dissertation level.
I take a prominent role in supporting undergraduate medical students within the Department. I have acted as educational supervisor for final year students and placement supervisor for students doing EBM special study modules in the Department.
