Biography
I have had close links with the School of Health and Related Research in Sheffield since moving to Sheffield as a Consultant Vascular Surgeon in 1994. I was appointed to an Honorary Chair at the School of Health and Related Research in 2003 and to a Chair of Professor of Vascular Surgery in 2004. I stopped my clinical practice in 2011 but have continued as Honorary Professor of Clinical Decision Science continuing with a number of research projects related to technology appraisal and decision science.
Prior to moving to Sheffield in 1994, I was a Clinical Lecturer at the Nuffield Department of Surgery in Oxford.
Research Interests
My research interests include clinical decision science, economic and decision analytic modelling, technology appraisal and the organisation and delivery of sub-specialist services. Due to my previous clinical experience many of these projects relate to areas of vascular disease, although I also have wider interests relating to a range of technologies and issues around outcome assessment and decision science in general.
Teaching Interests
In the past I have been closely involved in teaching of both clinical trainees and post graduate students on the masters programmes. I currently supervise post graduate researchers.
Current Projects
- Studies of the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of treatments for peripheral arterial disease.
- Studies of the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of new treatments for varicose veins.
- Studies relating to clinical decision making in areas of vascular disease including aortic aneurysm and carotid disease.
- Studies of the drivers to the configuration of sub-specialist vascular services.
- Studies of patient and societal preferences for various aspects of service provision and delivery.

- Vice Chair of NICE Appraisal Committee
- Chair of NICE Guideline Development Group for Peripheral Arterial Disease
- Member of HTA Interventional Procedures Priorities Panel
- Member of HTA Strategy and Oversight Group
