I am an academic pharmacist and qualitative behavioural scientist. My research focusses on healthcare practitioner and patient behaviour change to facilitate routine proactive deprescribing of medicines with more risks than benefits. I led the development of the first practitioner behaviour change intervention for deprescribing in the hospital setting within my PhD. The intervention has since received funding to be tested in the largest definitive hospital deprescribing trial in the world. My deprescribing work has led me to be one of the founding members of the Northern European Researchers in Deprescribing (NERD) network where my primary role is to build international research capacity both within Europe and between the network and countries globally. I continue to practice at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
