Hi, and thanks for reading. I am a Professor of Global Surgery
and Consultant Colorectal Surgeon at the University of
Birmingham, UK. After undertaking a Cancer Research UK
funded PhD Fellowship at the Royal Marsden Hospital, I
developed expertise in pragmatic, multicentre, international
surgical clinical trials for patient benefit. Within the NIHR Unit on
Global Surgery, I lead a wide research portfolio that includes
major randomised controlled trials and policy engagement. I led
the global research response into safe surgery during COVID-19,
as Chief Investigator of the COVIDSurg Collaborative. Most
recently, I lead an funded
research group aiming to make
surgery more environmentally sustainable.
