Teaching
I am Chair of the Board of Examiners for the Master in Public Health Programme (MPH) and teach on the MPH health inequalities module. I also supervise and examine MPH dissertations each year.
I contribute to the MBChB Population Health curriculum and supervise medical students with their research and scholarship projects.
In relation to postgraduate research students, I am an experienced PhD and MD supervisor on research questions concerning inequalities in health and have been an internal and external examiner of PhD theses over many years.
