For those of you who haven’t yet met me, hello! I am a Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, working on improving methods for risk prediction modelling (primarily in asthma) and developing pathways for integration into primary care practice. Prior to Edinburgh, I worked at the University of Melbourne in mental health care, health in the justice system, and medico-legal complaints (quite a bizarre hodge-podge, but such is ECR research funding!) My background is as a statistician, but my passion is getting actionable insights from data. My motivation for starting this network was so that we can find mutually-beneficial routes to improving our research and getting closer to widespread patient benefit.
