About me
Geoff joined the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences team in March 2015. He is a highly experienced and internationally recognised expert in realist synthesis and evaluation and works closely with researchers in the field of evidence syntheses of complex health and social interventions.
Clinically he works as a salaried General Practitioner (GP) in London. His previous academic appointments were at University College London and Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
He gained his first degree in Medical Sciences from the University of Cambridge and his MBBS from Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital. He undertook his vocational training in north London and was a GP Principal for almost two decades and a GP Trainer. His MD(Res) on the use of the Internet in medical education was supervised by Professors Trish Greenhalgh and Ray Pawson.
Geoff’s research centres on making sense of complex health and social interventions in which context and human agency are key. His work focuses on using realist synthesis and realist evaluations to explain and understand these types of interventions.
